How about the notes for that Cap please?

Maybe the stain on the back went in a bunch of pages and that killed it?

I don't have the notes.  I feel they were a little harsh on that book, but I can still justify it as a 6.0 and take away 2.0 for that size of a stain. 2c

Comic Description:
Wings Comics 88 12/47 Fiction House

Grader Notes:
chipping full top of back cover
light, multiple shadow back cover
very small tear right top of front cover

:foryou:

I had 4.0 and 4.0, so I guessed right on one and I still wouldn't grade the Wings 6.0 so I'm not mad at myself, but KUDOS to the people who got the correct grades on both:)

I'll get back to you on that. I've never checked the notes.

It's like a cracking of the paper, but all still hanging in there.

I thought it was the interior pages (trimming defect) I think they folded them back to fit in the case.

@ADAMANTIUM We need some serious grading training, I guess! lol

 

What's throwing me off is to consider these books pressed, so when I see dimples in covers or crunches, I think the graders are nice about the idk ugh

nobody would give it at 6.0 unless you were on drugs

So this will scroll down so fast nobody will even see it. But, I just don't see that books are judged the same irregardless of age. Aren't they supposed to be? At least kinda? You show me a modern that grades as a 7.0 and a 12 cent comic in the same condition is going to grade out way higher. Not saying I necessarily disagree with that, but...
