PGM Batman: Harley Quinn #1 (1999)

I picked up this book from a fellow boardie not too long ago and just wanted to see what people's opinions were on comic grades for 'prestige format' books. I've been wondering how much 'reading creases' affect CGC grading of the book so I thought I post the pics for people here to chime in on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The only defect at all are the reading creases, so I was wondering how that would effect the grade of the book.

 

Would appreciate any input

I've seen a few 9.8's with a very slight...and i mean VERY slight reading crease. Yours seems to go almost the entire length of the book....also, looks like you have a dog ear on the bottom rear corner.

 

I'm gonna say 9.4....with a good chance of a 9.6

that's not a "dog ear" corner on the bottom back cover, it's the Joker's chin, it's part of the artwork.

 

nice book, 9.4

Thanks for the input everyone! Yeah the 'dog ear' is actually the artwork, though since someone mentioned it I went back and checked and did notice a non color breaking crease near the area (which I believe a press would fix). Nice to know it's still a NM copy even with the creases. Black covers are always a bummer since it's so easy to make out defects. But I love the book and don't plan on getting it cgc'd so it still presents amazing

First print 9.4 is still a great book to CGC. Especially since this book/cover is being reprinted now!!
