PGM Y The Last Man 1, RESULTS ARE IN!

[jcjames]

Y The Last Man #1, with a couple issues:

 

Two dings on the spine (one clearly visible in the picture) and a 1.5 cm scratch across the back (see pic).

 

Again, as with my PGM Runaways 1, I'm wondering how they'd grade as-is and whether they'd be worth slabbing as-is or pressing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks.

 

 

 

 

GRADE UPDATE:

 

After sending off to Joeypost for a press, this is the result:

 

 

 

 

Thank You Joeypost!

if that indentation on the spine at the top FC doesn't break colour, it could be worth a press. It looks to me like it does break colour...

 

as is grading: 9.2-9.4

Hey thanks!

 

With that scratch across the back, as-is I thought it would top out around 8.5/9.0 and MAYBE press into a 9.2/9.4.

 

It's hard for me to see color-break or not in that spine dent (there's a second one a bit to the right of the first in the picture) because it's white color. Could be though.

The "scratch" on the BC is production related;a printing defect.

 

With how severely the spine tic which chiefly impacts the FC (which virtually has barely any color to break to start with) coupled with the fact that the tic seems to mostly effect the FC....

 

Pressing would help the grade quite a bit...might be able to land you a 9.6.

I looked at other examples of this issue online and didn't see the back cover "scratch/print-defect" so I assumed it was just on mine.

 

I think I may do a press on this and hope for the best.

that scratch is definitely production related and likely a one-off. You'll probably not see too many with that same defect.

A mint unread book wouldn't have a scratch like that. I'd expect a scratch like that on a well-read copy

I'm thinking a 9.2. Very nice book to have (thumbs u

Wow - fantastic press job!

[Spidey 62]

That's nice. I couldn't send mine into CGC because it is "marred" with signatures from Brian K Vaughn and JG Jones. I understand why they won't certify, though, with so many scammers out there.
