comicginger1789 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Oh yes I think it’s 8.5-9.0 no problem. Possible a smidge better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WPPJames Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I'm with Foggy. I'd be shocked if this got an 8.5 CGC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm seeing, and I'm no expert. And you'll notice a lot of words in quotes as I may not even be using the correct terminology. 1) Top right cover chip. Probably biggest defect. 2) "Flakes" along edge of front right cover 3) Multiple spine ticks 4) Back cover seems a tad "dirty" 5) Is their a small tear at top staple? And the biggest factor of all. CGC almost always grades lower than what we estimate here. Sometimes I can almost picture a CGC grader going home alone to his apartment with two cats and chuckling "I gave a guy a 6.0 on an 7.5 book today". Wahaha. Then he heats up a microwave dinner and watches Jeopardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking 7.5 after seeing the chip and yeah that tear (perhaps) at the top of the staple might even make this a 7.0. The dirty can be cleaned so that is less an issue. Your Jeopardy reference made me laugh. Buying this as a 8.5 would be overgraded for sure. Thanks for your Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Really? I didn’t think 8.5 was that far off. It’s not like it’s a crease in that corner. 9.0 seems a bit much upon second look but I think 8.0-8.5 is obtainable still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
