I'm amazed with all those color breaks that the ASM is in an 8.0 slab.

 

How did this get a 8.0? Based on the 8.0s I've gotten back the spine breaks alone bring it to the 8.0 range. Did the scratches on the bottom right corner of the cover get overlooked?

Far nicer book in hand.

 

So the color-breaking lines in the lower right corner of the front cover aren't really there? (shrug)

 

I need to give up trying to guess the grades of comics that have been scanned first and pressed second. Congrats on the many upgrades.

I can see them clearly in the scan of the slab so they must still be there.
