Thank you all!

Looks like the scanner cropped a bit around the edges making it very hard to give an accurate grade (or as accurate as one can from a scan). I'd guess around 5.5? Maybe 6.0?

[F For Fake]

I am also at 5.5.

[Atreides-migration]

No, no. The scanner worked properly. The cover is not centered and the illustration turns on the back. You can see the "S" of "Sightless" starts on the back cover.

The book is exactly as you see. That's why I have some doubt about the grade.

thunsicker means the scan is a little cropped regardless.

 

This defect is called miswrap, and although not much desirable it doesn’t affect much a book in this grade range. In fact, there are examples of drastic miswraps (both to the back and to the front cover) in high grades, up to VFNM or more.

It is mostly a matter of personal preference as it is what is commonly called a "manufacturing defect", which in this case means the book cover has not been stapled with a good centering compared to the interiors. (thumbs u

Today I check more carefully this comic book and discovered something I didn't noticed before.

In the last page there was a coupon that was cut away. So the corner of the last page looks something like this:

 

 

Sorry for the scan but I didn't want to bend the pages.

 

How much this defect lower the grade?

Let me know

[Spidey-fan73]

I think it would get a green label/qualified with the cut out. front image is clearly cropped too much along the spine side, cant see the corners and full spine. 4.5 maybe 5.0

I also believe with the coupon cut-out it would get a "Qualified" (green label) grade from CGC, but if we have to grade it overall, I would say it would become a Poor, or Poor/Fair as it is incomplete.

 

This is a classic example where you should give it back to the seller, or ask for a refund. Although in this case, if the seller thinks he has given you a good deal on the bunch of books, it might be harder to obtain. :shrug:

[Atreides-migration]

This book comes from the lot you know well.

I don't think a refund is possible
