badback83 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Is that a tear or a scratch on the back cover? This is tough one. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myparentsbasement Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I'm sitting 9.0ish. Not sure if it's my eyes, but are there 4 ticks on the spine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't a tear or a scratch, it is a printer's crease and doesn't affect the grade. The tanning on the scans is exaggerated. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tanning on the scans is exaggerated. Fair enough, and thanks for answering some questions I'll give it a 9.4, as the only other thing that I notice is the squish or blunt at spine corner's, I don't think that they're bad enough for 9.2. The structure of the book is pretty solid! definitely a NM copy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahsoka Tano Jedi Apprentice Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 book look's great and crease on the back appears to be minor 8.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
___ Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 VF/NM, not sure if press will help but at least the spine ticks don't break color with the miswrap. Either way it is a very nice crisp copy of a book hard to find in high grade! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeypost Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 8.5 to 9.0 depending how hard they hit the wear on the bottom edge. Agreed that a press would help this book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuscemasAvengers Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Beautiful copy ... one of Citizen Kane's best (even with the Hulk's doo) ... I'm somewhere in the 9.0-9.2 range; pressing candidate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Pontoon Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 With a quick once-over I'd say 9.0 but I think Joe is right about possibly lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
