MustEatBrains Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I graded them at 9.6/1.8. I'm very happy compared to last round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakman29 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I could have sworn with the crunch on the spine, and a couple of spine ticks made it a 9.2 Mr.TawkyTawny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought 1.0 to 1.8 was the range reserved for 'bare minimum of eye appeal'...very heavy color loss here when compared to how the issue should look. I looked at a handful of 1.5 slabs of other books, and didn't see any that presented this rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaSealed Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I hate grading NM- to NM/MT books. There is a crazy amount of variance. Is this an issue CGC is known to grade loose since it has a tough black cover? The SA was easy. It was for sure a 1.5 to 2.0. I leaned toward a 1.8.....but CGC doesn't really use that grade very often so bumped it to the flat 2.0 because I thought it was slightly too nice for 1.5. kav and 01TheDude 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were trying to sell this, I would be more in the 1.0-1.5 range There is a difference-- so please don't act like this is a true reflection of how others grade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruzin' Thru Comics Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I had them at 9.6 and 2.0. Thought that corner bump and a couple spine ticks would've dropped the sw down a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01TheDude Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I saw two blemishes on the cover that are most likely on the plastic itself-- to the right of the 107 and right above Luke's head. Took the safe route and went with a 9.4 kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
