A 7.0

Marvel chipping on the right edge hurts

[ComicSupply]

Is that a tape mark or stain on the back cover. Around the top, above the buildings.

[Ze-man]

Clean up that BC a bit and I would say 7.0 is possible.

Looks like a small stain.

[Red Hook]

Try to provide better scans next time...redrook!

[Red Hook]

Well, there goes this thread!

 

So how's it out there on the Oregon Trail?

[namisgr]

I'd guess 6.5 with being tough for the chipping, the spine stresses, and the back cover corner crease. It also looks as though the right edge may be gone under the knife, too.

 

This is a really nice Kirby cover, doncha think?

[Red Hook]

I LOVE this cover. That tangerine sky is to die for!

[namisgr]

Is FF 9 the storyline in which a broke and soon-to-be-evicted FF accept an offer to star in Hollywood, only to be duped by the "producer", who turns out to be Subby? And Johnny and Ben think they are each going to become major stars, of course.

 

The analogies with the real movie business are a-plenty!

I have suspicion that this may grade lower then expected - around a 5.0/5.5. I say this because of the amount of chipping ( which I think is more pronounce then the scan shows,) rounding of the corners, the back crease, the spine, dirt, and I think the upper staple is rusted or discolored. Since this was trimmed, I wonder if it was pressed as well. In my opinion. it gives a much better appearance then what CGC might grade it.

I suspect you are correct. Where the chips meets the right edge, it is much sharper and cleaner than what should be...

[Aces]

6.0/6.5

 

Not a very nice trim job.

Are these (A)s?

Well, you can't be sure of anything.....but the book has been in mylar in my collection for 22 years.....the deceitful thing.....I don't think it's been pressed.....well, I sure didn't do it! I'd tell ya'. Honest!
