PGM ASM 74 GRADE IS IN with GRADER NOTES

[Red84]

I can't tell if this one is dirty, or if it's the actual image. Mid way down on the spine there is what looks like pink ink.

Thoughts?

9.4 pretty sharp

9.2

9.4 pretty sharp

 

9.4 outside shot at 9.6 with a smoosh.

9.2 IMHO! Pressable copy from what I can see! I can't really determine what the "pink ink" is but it is not that noticeable. Nice copy Josh!

GRADE IS IN

 

After Pressing

 

NOT happy with this grade

 

9.0 white

[timfinz]

With some of the grades that have been coming from CGC as of late this one is a bit of a shock! Considering how harsh I am grading the scans the 9.0 doesn't seem justified. Did you request graders notes on this one?

What is wrong with it?

[timfinz]

What is wrong with it?

Does "it" refer to the grade or to the book?

Ze book.

[ARK]

If you feel the book is that nice.

Get the notes or just straight crack and resub.

I know it is hard now the grade has been posted but what does it look like to you ARK?

[DR.X]

Just an observation here. On the back cover top edge about 1" to the left of the spine I see a dark spot with what looks like a light water mark around it. Could be the light or the scanner, or I could just be wrong.

 

Second, there could be a multitude of things going on in the interior. Dog eared pages, tears, writing, ink marks, stains, etc. Too many people want to judge a whole grade by the outside and don't do a careful enough inspection of the inside. Just saying.

I would give a 9.2 off the scans.

 

I also wonder about the interior and what looks to be a small spine split on the bottom and what DR.X is seeing on top BC.

And, a nice 9.0 ASM #74 is nothing to sneeze at . . . nice book! (thumbs u

 

These are SA books people, not grade-inflated Coppers.

[Red84]

I don't have the barcode number yet to get the grader notes.

[Red84]

Just got the barcode number by calling but the notes aren't available until it ships.

You can usually figure out the cert. #, with your invoice. The # starts with your invoice #, and adds the last four digits in order on the invoice. The first book will end with "001", the next is "002" and so on.

I thought 9.0 from the scan, but every time I've thought something was a 9.0 it wound up at least a 9.4 so I can understand your disappointment.

Yeah that is true and I understand there is more to the grade than BC and FC hence why i asked what else was wrong with it.
