I'm not delusional but for a 9.4.

 

9.6 or higher I'll consider me and CGC even for short changing me on prior submissions.

I'd go with the 9.0/9.2. There appears to be too many CBC on the spine to get a 9.6.

Ha, I need to work on that. The color loss that starts around HQs boob and that big break near her waist is what's throwing me.

Fair enough, but a 7/7.5? I'd be shocked if it came back less than 8.5. I mean the spine ticks are barely visible when looking at it, the scan really does show stuff that isn't visible to the eye.

[KPR Comics]

Yeah, that was harsh. You def are in 9.0 territory.

He's really not that far off...the spine is pretty messed up and I'd say 8.0/8.5...if it came back a 9.0 I'd be more than shocked. It's a beautiful book but 9.4-9.6 is not even a possibility for this book, unless the scanner has really made the defects disproportionate.

Anyone think a pressing would help?

[timfinz]

9.2 IMHO!

If your spine tics are not colour breaking then a press might help. Joey Post is the man to ask to be totally honest. The book presents well!

[AGGIEZ]

9.0

[Pete Marino]

From what I see, I think it's around a strong 8.5 / weak 9 or so. It also looks like a press would help it for both presentation and grade.

 

I think the people that are downgrading this book a lot are looking at the feathering on the spine and counting that as color breaks.

[Captain_Pike]

There a number of creases that break colour on the spine front and back, corners are sharp though.

9.2

+1

 

The thicker cover stock breaks along the spine like that and is acceptable in 9.8.

 

The number of spine tics allowed in HG is quite a few. A 9.4 with three or four noticeable spine ticks is not uncommon.

 

I would call this a VF+ (8.5).
