can someone tell me whats going on here?! 0

[WHIZ_BANG_POW]

so I bought both these books, I have seen a fantastic four book that is a printing error issue but have never seen this one, have had people tell me its a ink issue and a comic shop owner tell me its faded, I want to get it graded whats the deal??

 

THE BLACK SHEEP I say it is VF ANY GRADING OPINIONS WOULD BE A BIG HELP EVEN IF IT IS FADED COOLEST LOOKING COPY I HAVE EVER SEEN. ANY OPINIONS?

 

THE NORM VG

Definitely not faded. Printing error.

[Vision75]

A smooth printing error at that...Neat book.

[WHIZ_BANG_POW]

anyone know what a value on the book would be?

[WHIZ_BANG_POW]

I need more opinions

It looks almost entirely faded in the Magenta ink areas, and in the Yellow ones to a good degree (the Cyan areas are unaffected because Cyan is the darkest color after Black, and the one that resists more direct sunlight).

 

It might have been that the Magenta was a little weaker to begin with, but it does not look at all like a printing error.

 

I don’t know how much to downgrade for fading – personally I don’t like it, but we should see how CGC and Overstreet handle the defect.

imho looks like a printing error. I like it !

That comic was left in a store front window for a very long time. My old LCS used to do that. I have no idea what CGC would grade that comic. I would never buy it. Personally I would give it a poor.

Faded.

my LCS had some Daredevils that had been in the front displays for years. the colors were completely gone from the sun and light.

Post this in grading and restoration. Some folks there will see it and give some valuable input. Someone familiar with the printing process of that era can make some intelligent insight.

What would you guys grade this at? The fading kills the eye appeal for me. That is why I was saying poor. But would like others opinions. I do not believe I ever saw a sun bleached CGC comic. Not saying that the grade they would assign would be the right grade. Just want to know other collectors opinion on this defect.

Looks like fading to me. Same thing a comic shop in Manhattan years ago did with one of there books. They had a FF 48 by the window and the color completely faded. Looked similar.

[Aman619]

Definitely faded. There are many faded storefront issues out there. It's not special nor desirable. Yes sure looks cool in its current duo tone effect, but it's a damaged copy with no extra value

Faded as the day is long . . .

Yep. Anyone can own this book. Buy one, and leave it in your window in direct sunlight for awhile. Watch it turn into this copy.

 

Divad, what grade would you assign this comic in VF this being the major flaw.
