PMG House of Secrets #92 - 1st App of Swamp Thing

[faster friends]

I need a little help on this one. I want to say 6.5 because of the bottom corner crease. But the book is so nice otherwise that I want to say 7.0 also.

 

Thoughts?

I'm going to give it a 6.5 because the back is so nice.

 

I absolutely love the artwork on this book!

6.0/6.5

I can clean the back cover but it's really not dirty. Must be the scanner cause it looks clean in hand.

You have so many smaller flaws going on along with numerous spine stress

lines that 6.5-7.0 is wishful thinking. That is maybe a 6.0 but I definitely lean

towards 5.5, IMHO....

Yes, There is always wishful thinking. That's why I come here for a reality check...

Yeah but didn't Lamont Larson write on his books too?

Just sayin'!

5.5 for me too, it's probably not old enough for a CGC WTF 6.5/7.0 grade.

[faster friends]

Thanks everyone for their opinions. In my years here, this section has always been a little hard on grading. I feel that is because it is very hard to grade from a scan.

 

We have all seen books graded here come back higher from CGC.

 

Still a great resource to have, and field others thoughts.

I think a 7.0's a reach, but not absolutely out of the question. Your 6.5 is probably on target.

Actually, I think this issue is treated rather softly by CGC. And I wouldn't be surprised by a WTF grade.
