Well, I excepted one of two copies would receive the higher grade however I am deadlocked with two same grades. One way out, I will keep one and sell the second one. Your opinions will help my decision. I do have a intention to keep one but I have to see your opinions and polls that will give me the better decision. Your opinions are welcomed here. Let's start to vote below. The poll will be expired on June 9th at 11:59pm (Standard time?). Thank you for your invaluable input.

 

Both Star Spangled War Stories #90 are graded at 5.0.

 

Certification #028267007 with Off White pages

Grader notes:

 

Right Bottom Front Cover Crease Breaks Color

Right Center Front Cover Crease Breaks Color

Right Top Front Cover Crease Breaks Color

Right Top Whole Book Stain

Spine Multiple Bend Breaks Color

 

Certification #028267008 with Cream to Off White pages

Grader notes:

 

Front Cover Multiple Crease Breaks Color

Right Center Front Cover Tear

Right Top Back Cover Tear with Crease

Right Top Front Cover Writing

Spine Multiple Bend Breaks Color

(I am surprised they missed one hidden defect - Top Inside Front Cover Whole Book Stain - you can't see it).

I don't think there is any competition. One has a water stain and has cream/off-white pages. Definitely keep the 007.

 

I was all for 007 until I saw it's back cover.

 

Yeah, that stain is a bit wrenching but it does present better than the other copy and has better PQ.

Yeah, all eyes fall upon one big defect.

 

And I'm assuming it goes into the book. Certainly 007 has a nicer front cover.

It was not shaken but something spilled on it while stirring
