Philreal Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) Just dropped this off at the CGC booth at Oak City Comicon & was wondering everyone's thoughts for the grade. Of course I'll share the outcome. There is a small tear on the back cover top as shown in the scan. Hoping for at least a 6.5 Edited April 3, 2018 by Philreal GRADE IS IN!

DR.X Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I'm going to say 5.5/6.0 due to the bottom of Spidey's left foot. Can't tell what happened there but the color should be solid red. Erasure maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phill the Governor Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Based on that #2 3.5 in the other thread I would say this is at least a 6.0/6.5 all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride the Tiger Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 A lot of good stuff going for this book. I'd hate to think it would have to settle for the 5.0 because of the attempted erasing of pen. No reasoan this book shouldn't get an easy 6.0 IMO.

DR.X Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 If you follow that erasure mark, it goes far up in to the next panel so it is quite long from the looks of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the DR. has a good eye. The erasure is going to cost the grade more than the pen line would have. CGC does not like loss of color. Actually, I don't either. I wish Phil luck, but I think it will be a 5.5 . Philreal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicquant Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Great book! Looks like a 5.5. I think the pen mark and the tear on the BC would keep it there but its a great looking copy! Philreal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR.X Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) that pen mark is faint but if you look it goes all the way up to the bottom of spideys foot at an angle in the top panel, and you can see the color loss from the eraser. add in the wear/color scuffing across the bottom edge, the B.C. tear, and the thumb crease on the top edge F.C. I still stand by my 5.5 and maybe a 6.0 on a good day but doubt it. Edited March 22, 2018 by DR.X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
