Thor 189 for your...ah hell, can I get a grade please?

[DavidTheDavid]

Same seller as other threads, though I'm not pondering a return on this one. Notice dust shadow on back cover.

 

FWIW, advertised grade was

9.2

 

 

Feedback is much appreciated.

Could be close.... 9.0 they do duct for the dust shadow but from what I have seen the don't hammer them .. They hammer interior page tanning.

9.2 IMHO! What is that on the front cover just below the handle of Thor's hammer near the RH edge of the cover? I made the assumption that it was on the scanner glass but if it is a stain...... I may have to adjust my grade!

I don't think 9.2 is out of touch

[ROBTOTHEC]

I'm 9.0 with that bc. But it has sharp corners, etc, possible 9.2 in hand.

8.5/9.0 due to rubbing, bottom edge wear and staples creases. The dust shadow is pretty minor, and though I frequently feel CGC is too easy on them, one like this on the back cover wouldn't be cause for a further deduction IMHO.

 

i'd only send it back if you paid a premium for it. 9.2 is a tricky grade, as some think of it as a soft NM, and others as less than NM, which can effect one's perception of just what is acceptable in that grade.
