PGM Preacher 1 --- GRADE IS IN

[Red84]

Recent pick up. What do you think?

The next Walking Dead in the making,great read at least 9.2 for me

[1Cool]

The scans seem small for grading but I'd go 9.4 with a shot at 9.6 after a press. I had a copy grade out at 9.6 and it looked very similar.

9.2

 

I cannot imagine how a press would do anything for this book other than singe the pages.

A 9.8 w/ Grader's Notes?

9.9/10s dont have notes I would imagine. everything below does.

Regarding notes on a 9.8, this may be new since they are now selling the notes but I was always told there were no notes on a 9.8 . It's interesting that CGC acknowledges that corner bend and it still received a 9.8 . The next owner is going to think there was slab damage or something. I do think, for the good of the hobby, 9.8's should be visibly near perfect.

for some reason, I have trouble trying to grade more modern books like this. Part of it is not knowing the book itself very well. The other part has to do with how they are made and the more graphical nature of the art. I'm a little more used to the style of artwork on silver and bronze age books. Even a Kirby cosmos or explosion type of drawing is not quite the same as these books. That is not a knock against the art or the work-- just my observation of why I seem to struggle figuring out what grade post bronze/copper books deserve typically.

I think it's CGC's acknowledgement that they have to justify why a book isn't a 9.9 Mint.
