Please grade this The Monster #2! 0

[Point Five]

This would be a good one for Andy's grading contest next year. Check the scans carefully!

That's a fair size piece off the back and a nibble at the top, as well as the creasing etc. Maybe 2.0/2.5?

In the grading comp it would be a 17.3

So... what did I not see?

2.5 for the grade. Is the lower half back cover stuck to the last page?

 

Taking another look at this, has that whole bottom section been built up and replaced?

The bottom inch or so of the back cover has been torn off, and the last interior page is now visible there.

That's basically it. Just not sure if the technical grade can get that high by CGC standards, given the extent of BC paper that's missing.

2.5 I'd guess.  Surprised to see 14 in the census.  Thought it would be rarer.

Cool, thanks for the grades guys. I'd guess 1.8 to 2.0 myself.
