:thanks:

[deathlok]

9.0/9.2

[DiceX]

8.5/9.0

That title is the bomb.

[Aces]

8.0

 

That's too much color loss in the logo area for a high grade 9.X I fear.

9.0

I concur, doctor. In fact, I'm going 7.5 on this one.

To Aces point, is that something on the surface of the book, or is there some sporadic "tape pull-like" ink loss there?

 

And on the back cover, the lower left corner's got some water damage going on - does that affect the inside cover and/or interior pages?

 

Otherwise a tight-looking book, but those defects on a BA comic are pretty significant.

Give me a break.

 

9.0. But only if you wipe that booger (under the left side of the logo) off the front cover.

 

9.2 if the color loss is a printing issue, as I suspect it might be.

The BEBC has exactly 5 pin-points of foxing, yep foxing, on a BA book - very fine, certainly no penetration.

On closer inspection under the viewing lamp, it does appear to be schmutz

 

AND, I didn't notice it before, but there is an extremely light 2" NCB fold to the ULFC Back in the Box!

 

I had this at a 9.0 but with the schmutz and the fold . . .

 

Thanks to all!
