Its an Amazing Adventure...#11 Please grade

[arexcrooke]

Jsut got this beaut in and wanted a little affirmation from yon fellow graders. To go Greggy on us for a sec, here are my thoughts:

vf

vf+

vf/nm

Note, my scanner is making the white backs of these books look dirty, it is just a thing with the scanner.

 

[COI]

I would say VF is right.

[october]

7.5

 

Is that a color breaking crease through the "ST" in Beast or just a scanner artifact? Also hard to tell if there is scuffing/color loss on the spine.

[arexcrooke]

OF,

its not a crease at all. I cant remember what its called, it like a line, and my X-Men 103 and 104 have them. They are production things and do not affect the grade.

[arexcrooke]

OF, i was looking at the wrong part of the book, so disregard the previous post. No, it isnt a crease.

[october]

Just to be clear, I was talking about "Beast" on the bottom. Sorry.

 

Your scanner makes it hard to see if there are areas of color loss or not, since there seem to be faded vertical bars running through the cover. If the color is sharp and there is not a lot of spine scuffing, I would say 8.0 is right on.

[nik]

8.0

[Aces]

7.0/7.5

 

I can't tell if all that dirt is on the bag or the comic.

I hope the tape is on the bag.

[Ze-man]

I say 8.5

 

Overspray and production defect shoud not hurt that much.. the black cover is overall really solid.

 

Corners are sharp overall

 

A really nice copy.

 

Might grade a 9.0 in person.

Is the bottom staple popped? It's hard to see it...

[divad]

7.5

 

You've got a VL but long, surface crease at the BEFC, wear to the corners and the oh-so typical ink smudge.

[Ze-man]

I bet this book looks alot better in person.. that TLC is a keeper

 

Not to mention the QP

I've got quite afew TLC's for sale!

 

[Kramerica]

Um, I vote 8.5. That book looks really familiar for some reason. But the clarity of the scan makes it look like a 7.5.

The scanning is really atrocious, ill try and improve it this evening.

[Mephisto]

Is that smudging by Bests left index finger a production defect becsue my copy had something similar or is that really a smudge from handling?

[arexcrooke]

I think that it is just something that is endemic in that book and that cover. I believe that it is a smudge from a persons thumb though.

BTW, hows school?

[Ze-man]

For what it is worth my copy has the EXACT same smudging.. ( it is his right index finger)

 

And also the same blue ink near the sig.

You got me curious...so I pulled out my copy. The same smudge and ink are on mine as well...

It may be endemic, but I think it's ubiquitous!
