Detective #359 -- Guess the CGC grade

[Point Five]

Disclaimer: This isn't my book. (I wish it were.) Just ran across it in my travels. Only have these scans to go on.

 

What grade do you think CGC gave it? Page quality is Offwhite to White.

8.5 with dust shadow on BC and small impact on the lower spine corner.

9.0, but i can see 8.5 also.

[Bomber-Bob]

It has to be surprising, why else would you post. IMO, it's an 8.0 but I will guess CGC gave it a 9.4.

[HighStakesComics]

9.0

I'm going 8.5. Looks like there is a non-color breaking bend on Robin's cape near the 12-cent mark as well as one in the "C" in Detective that could likely be pressed out. Some NCBs in the bottom-right of the front cover as well.

9.2

do they even downgrade for dust shadows? i've got so many 9.4's w/ dust shadows, i would suspect not very much if at all. they might also be lenient on this book; my VF+ got a 9.4 so i'm guessing 9.2 on this one.

Those are glares from the inner-well of the case.

Then 9.2...but they don't look like glares.

You nailed it. (As did Thanos88.)

 

 

Thanks for playing, all!

9.2 but looks more like 9.0

[Bomber-Bob]

It was just graded in July. I'll have to bookmark this as an example when Boardies complain CGC is grading too tight lately. All I know is I would not pay 9.4 prices for that copy. I'm sure it will be soon be on CLink, the resting place for all books with Back cover problems.

[Thanos88]

What value would you say a 9.4 copy would fetch now? Been a few years since the last sale.
