1st forgive the pictures I have new camera I am trying to learn.  I will say this comic needs a press and I have a lighting issue.  White pages

[mdean2437]

I think an 8.5/9.0 with a press.  I would like to think better but look at the top staple right side.

need to get closer ...i can't really c it to really give an opinion.............does it have a slight spine roll ?

[AndyFish]

Tough to grade from the pics-- looks like it is flat, has good gloss and nice color.  I'm thinking 9.0-9.2 but without scans it would be impossible to give a definitive.

[mdean2437]

I will take better pics tonight. I don't think it has a spine roll though there is a bend from I think poor storage.  Bottom right causes it to sit uneven , that definitely could be pressed out.

What kind of scanner would you recommend? I have an old espon that could fit full Slabs, bit alas it has died.

whats the difference between a Spine Roll and a Bend ?  I get the Bend is caused in long boxes when comics r stored and there not even with each other and 1 gets pinched. Isn't a Bend like a Spine Roll ? What about minus on a book that's graded with a Spine Roll vs one with a Bend .  Do u subtract more for 1 than the other ? I get that a press can help a Bend but the same goes 4 a Spine Roll 2 doesn't it ?

p.s.  Triple Jay ...where r u ?

I thought they were kind of the same thing just because i didn't know any better.....who wants 2 teach me. I'm more advanced with the ways of The Force than I am with the ways of the Comic Grader.

I don't have good pic of this but I will get one. look at bottom right corner (not on spine) it is causing whole book to sit weird/uneven.

that's a nasty spine roll on amazing # 77 ... i luv that book ...i have a nice copy....have u ever thought of getting that good copy graded ? What causes a Spine Roll ? Is it like the same things that cause a Bend ?

The roll comes from either bending the comic too severely when reading it, excessive weight being placed on or against the comic in an uneven distribution, or from rolling up the magazine into a tube shape whether to put it in your pocket or mail slot or something else. If you lay the comic flat on a table and it curves into any shapped letter, a "C", a "U", a "J", etc, then that's spine roll.

 

That is not my ASM 77, just 1 I found on the interwebs 

 

I amy be done with sending books to be graded, wither I will buy already graded or buy raw and they stay raw.  Fore me there too much money out, of a  long of a time.

looks like a NM- to me from those pics. Spine looks nice.

[BuscemasAvengers]

I'm thinking somewhere in the 9.0ish area ... but better pics would be nice!
