PGM - TALES TEEN TITANS 44 1ST NIGHTWING - HELP! GRADE IS IN

[jsilverjanet]

so I found this beautiful looking copy in a estate sale for 50 cents, unbagged, no board, in between some other books. What I don't know is the defect on the first blue T on the front cover. It's not water damage (I've seen a lot of water damage books in my time) it's not a piece of material, it looks like a defect from the coloring but really don't know. Regardless it's being shipped tomorrow so I will provide a grade when I find out. Thoughts?

That is hard to tell was there anything visible on the interior?

[jsilverjanet]

Interesting. Do you ever think it is funny that we as grown men will spend so much time thinking about something as inconsequential as a dot on a comic book? I do, yet I will still spend a couple of hours today pondering what caused it

[ROBTOTHEC]

I am sure it's just a ink printing problem, like a blotch. It seems like have seen

that hundreds of times and would have no affect on the grade.

I think it's funny that you consider us "grown men"

 

it's a bit weird when this starts crossing into other parts of your life.

+1 My first thoughts when I saw. It dirt in the printer jet during the process = printing defect = not a problem.

[timfinz]

9.4 IMHO! I think the spine tics, although minor will keep it from grading higher. The TLBC is just turned down. Were you considering a press and clean before having it slabbed? I wouldn't be surprised of someone turned it into a 9.8?!!

[timfinz]

Hector's book needs some grading too!!! Please help him out won't you?

[UncannyX-Force]

It looks like a solid 9.4 to me.

What it looks like to me is that something moist got onto it, like a bit of food, and when someone picked it off, after it dried, it took a bit of ink with it.

 

I don't know what CGC deducts for the moist-food-picked-off-once-dried problem, but I like the 9.4.

9.2/9.4

 

 

[Red84]

Maybe it's like when you hold a pen still against paper and the ink starts to soak in. Maybe in the printing process an extra bit of ink came out and saturated that spot.

 

Also, CONGRATS on getting it for 50 cents!!!
