ChrispyC66 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) What’s going on left of the UPC? Bends? Also looks like like there is some minor spine roll on BC. 9.6 maybe 9.8. great looking book with deep blacks, Edited April 16, 2020 by ChrispyC66 Update grade after response JoshGrav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshGrav Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) That's part of the cover on the left of the UPC. Its part of the drawing. There aren't any bends and the back cover does not have any spine roll and there is not one spine tick on this book. No finger prints...nothing. The only thing is a very little dirt on the back cover which I can definitely remove Edited April 16, 2020 by JoshGrav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I mean, I can see 9.8 potential. 9.4-9.6 for sure. Thing is, I dislike the diamond UPC and line through the barcode. It always draws my eye to it and I find it takes away from a great cover. Just me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

universal soldier Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Not much wrong with that copy. 9.6 minimum for sure. Sweet book! JoshGrav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 "Pristine" isn't really a grade. 9.4 range IMO. Deadpoolica and ChrispyC66 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I had no idea that pristine isn't actually a grade. Thanks for educating me..... Oh and why do think its a 9.4? What would take it that low? There is virtually nothing wrong with this book other than the very little dirt on two spots which I have already removed.

"9.4 range" = somewhere around NM. I tend not to give the opinion of 9.8 unless I can examine it in-hand myself. Would you be happy with "9.8 candidate"?

Math Teacher Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Is it my imagination, or are there some creases/bends on the front? The corners are really sharp. My guess is 9.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're already positive about the grade, why are you even asking? Deadpoolica and ChrispyC66 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is 9.0. to the left of the white arrow box on the front cover it looks like some vertical thin impression . if that's just my eyes playing tricks on me or just the cover art then the only thing thing I see is some mark on the back to the left of the '"join SLC" medallion. I'd say it's 9.8 potential if that's not some type of indentation by that arrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
