...Something on the 'bay caught my eye; what's the likelihood that I can get this 9.0 to a 9.6? 1 1

Find attached grader's notes.  I notice it is a Twin City Pedigree, but also it is a black picture frame.  Thoughts?  Paul~

Unlikely.

If those creases and bends didn't break color, you might have a shot at an upgrade...but color breaks are usually the kiss of death...

Yeah, I was dreaming. Astonishing Tales #12 seems like such a tough book to get. I have the 9.4 in my registry set, but really want an upgrade to 9.6 to match everything else. Grader's notes on the 9.4  copy say the same thing about color breaking. Paul
