How much does this lower the grade? NM 98

[white_rushin]

Here are the scans of my copy I own. I bought it in the current condition it's in some time ago.

 

From the scans you wouldn't be able to notice the flaws on it, but in the right light you can see on the back cover. I don't know how much this impacts the book on an otherwise nice copy. The other flaws are minimal, maybe a few spine ticks.

Hard to tell from the scans, with that back cover. I’d say in the VF range but larger scans would help.

[hcaworker-migration]

would say a 7.5 but you can fix the back cover flaw with a press.

True, you think that could bump it up to an 8.5 or 9.0?

 

And sorry Vaillant, I don't have bigger scans on hand.

[hcaworker-migration]

lots of ticks around the edges and soft corners maybe 8.0 but not much better.

[vaillant]

Yes, I’d still say VF-/VF, but I don’t think it would be much worthy to press it, unless you want to grade it and have the highest possible grade.

I would not press comics in general, if it is your keeper copy for now, keep it as is.

A solid 7.5
