csaag Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Neat cover! Spoiler i think I count like a dozen spine tics. The bottom of the front has some problems and it's either a longer crease or a rip on the back left . I'd guess 6.5 BobBain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has art from Wrightson, Kaluta and some other big names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This actually looks pretty nice, even with the wear and tear. If that's a color breaking crease on the bottom middle of the back cover, then I'm in the 7.0 range...

bounty_coder Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 The book looks really attractive and gives the eye appeal of a VF/NM book. Though the Chip at the Front Bottom Edge Center, and the Tear on the Back Left Edge Center are going to hammer the book a bit. I would say upside shot at 7.5 VF- with a downside shot at 6.5 FN+ BobBain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBain Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) Would using archival document repair tape hurt the grade any if used for the back cover? I'm not sure that I will ever slab this but wondering how CGC would handle it. I had an Amazing Spider-Man 122 with a fairly large tear on the back cover, used this tape, sold it to MyComicShop and they graded it as VF+. If done right that tape nearly disappears.

bounty_coder Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 The tape would potentially cause the book to get a conserved or restored label. It definitely won’t raise the grade. What’s done is done. Definitely an awesome book that looks great though 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedcake Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Are you saying that's a tear on the BC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
