Christopher McKay Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Hey all, just started recently collecting and finally made my first "key" issue purchase! There is some sort of black streak/ink on the bottom left corner near the direct edition logo. Was thinking about possibly submitting this for grading, but is this even worth it? There are more detailed pictures below on the Imgur link. If you need any more pictures, let me know, thanks for any and all input!

mysterymachine Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 The ink is just a smear from the printing process and shouldn't go against the grade. If that is a crease on the bottom right you should have the book pressed when submitting. If no crease is there than it should grade around 9.2.

Deadpoolica Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 9.2 maybe 94 Christopher McKay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myowncollector Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 9.2 Boardies nailed it. Only grade nm98 if it is a 9.8 Little known historical fact. They knew this 30 years ago, that's why they waited until issue 98 to introduce him. Christopher McKay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
