ChrispyC66 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) Grade me please. Notes Pages OW-W. FC: Great gloss, light stress on top staple, less on bottom staple.1/2 inch crease top right corner BC: stain on lower left edge. Lower right darker area is a shadow/artifact from photo not a stain. Lighting was from left side during photo. Color in that corner is consistent with areas above and left. Pressed: Yes Edited April 13, 2020 by ChrispyC66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Lime Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Bearing in mind you finished higher than me in Point Five's grading challenge, I may not be the best person to offer a grade but in imo it's a 7.5. Great large pics and great FF's as well. ChrispyC66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADAMANTIUM Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Similar to the other 8.5 Fantastic the crease at the corner will probably knock it to 7.5 I don't see it getting lower ChrispyC66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 7.0 IMO. ChrispyC66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azkaban Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 6.5 maybe 7.0. I've found that CGC hits hard on stains, or they have mine ChrispyC66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see 8.0 imho ChrispyC66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashlites Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) I believe the stain on the BC will not be that hard of a hit (unless its oily and bled through to the interior of the book) . This book is in great shape like the other one, many NM attributes! But of course there's the spine stress to the top staple, with that and the stain I still think it has a shot at an 8. The rest of the book just looks that good to me. Edited February 25, 2020 by flashlites correction ChrispyC66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrispyC66 Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 @comicginger1789 and @Point Five what do you think about this book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 6.5/7.0 seems right with the stain. Probably not the best submission candidate. JerryG209 and ChrispyC66 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 That stain will hit it a bit. Safely, 7.5-8.0 ChrispyC66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrispyC66 Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 We’ll find out the impact of the stain. This book will be going to Sarasota. I will let you know when it comes back. ADAMANTIUM, flashlites and Deadpoolica 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashlites Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 We'll get to see of its a 6.5 or an 8.0! I'm kinda going out on a limb saying it has a chance at an 8. Especially since Azkaban, who is the master is thinking 6.5-7.0. The master may be sending me back to school😀. ChrispyC66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelrain41 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I'd say 7.0. in my limited experience they hit hard for stains... But I'm also new to the hobby so who knows . Good luck man! ChrispyC66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First appearance of Agatha Harkness (mentor of Scarlet Witch) and first mention of Franklin Richards. So even at 6.5 it’s still worth it ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrispyC66 Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 Personally I graded it a 7.5. flashlites and ADAMANTIUM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrispyC66 Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 Well we had grades of 6.5 to 8.0 on this book. The BC stain was the big question mark.. CGC said... flashlites, Deadpoolica and ADAMANTIUM 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
