PGM Fantastic Four #90 and #92 0

I figured I'd squeeze two almost adjacent issues into one post. TIA!

Had to go to the hosting site and blow up the images to really see.

F.F. 90, slightly blunted corners, very minor stress lines...

9.0 VERY FINE/NEAR MINT (VF/NM):  Back to Top
Nearly perfect with outstanding eye appeal. A limited number of bindery/printing defects are allowed. Cover is almost flat with almost imperceptible wear. Inks are bright with slightly diminished reflectivity. An 1/8" bend is allowed if color is not broken. Corners are cut square and sharp with ever-so-slight blunting permitted but no creases. Several lightly penciled, stamped or inked arrival dates are acceptable. Very minor foxing. Spine is tight and flat. Staples may show some discoloration. Only the slightest staple tears are allowed. A very minor accumulation of stress lines may be present if they are nearly imperceptible. Paper is off-white to cream and supple. Very minor interior tears may be present.

F.F. 92, slightly blunted corners, cannot tell/see if stress lines are present due to the edge being white so I have to say...

I'd personally go considerably lower than 9.0. More in the 7.5/8.0 range. But lots of times when viewing just photos you zoom in so close that "defects" get overly magnified. Stuff that would be barely noticeable if looking at the book in person. Maybe I'm guilty of that on these.

It just doesn't look as bright/sharp as a comic I'd expect to be mint, but there's not a lot of flaws I see.

The corners are all rounded.  92 looks like it has a NCB crease or bend by the top staple on the front

I could see a 8.5

I don't see them lower than an 8

8.5 to 9.0 for both

Between 8.5 - 9.0... I would lean towards the 9.0.

Thanks folks!
