JohnH19 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 First time I've posted a book in this thread. A non-colour breaking bend on the right edge, a bit of over spray on the top edge and a couple of spine tics. That's about it. I look forward to your opinions. Thanks!

A professional press will not only help the front cover bend you referenced, but flatten out the bundle-type marks/ripples, at the central top of the back cover. I'd have the CGC do that and then have them grade it. If you do that, I think you're good for a 9.0 or better on this one, I only see one color-breaking spine stress near Spider-man's knee at the upper top staple area.

Not A Clone Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Agree with above! Very nice copy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serpentor Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) If performed by a professional, the overspray can be dry erased. Do not attempt this yourself! Also, is that a very small tear on the top of the back cover? Edited September 4, 2018 by Serpentor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble52 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Great looking book! I would say 8.5 if graded as is. As noted above, a press & clean could get this in the NM range 9-9.2. Good luck! KobaltDog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have countless comics with this defect, I always assumed it was a manufacturing defect but I never knew IF IT EFFECTED the grade or how much? could someone explain to me exactly what The Consensus is in the Comic Book world about "Overspray"? is it an manufacturing defect? does it effect the grade? If So How much? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahsoka Tano Jedi Apprentice Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 is that a slight spine roll ? A slight spine roll and the crease i believe would put it as is at 7.0 I don't know anything about over-spray and would luv 2 hear some opinions.

Earl Yoshihara Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I’ve never had problem with overspray as it is a manufacturing defect. I think with a press and clean it’s a 9.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timfinz Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Even with a press and clean I think the corners are not as sharp to attain a grade above Spoiler 8.5 IMHO A nice looking book otherwise KobaltDog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KobaltDog Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Im saying cgc 8.0 on this one, I don't know about pressing. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnkurJ Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 8.5 as is. Would likely upgrade if that bend is pressed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfairlee Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 8.5 as is. Don't know a bunch about pressing but "this needs a press" was the first thing that crossed my mind. 9.0+ after press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
