Slyde Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) This one (to my eye) appears to be in really good shape. Pages are white. The only thing that may not show up in the cover photo is some indentations in a few spots, just to the right of the spine. I am wondering if this makes it a good pressing candidate, as well.

KCOComics Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Does it have a bit of spine roll? Honestly, it looks really clean to me outside of a few blemishes of the back cover. 9.0 to me and probably a good pressing candidate. Slyde 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthingskryptonite Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Book looks really good. Not much I can see. Crease in front beside "Giant-Size". Spots on back cover near "address" and below "state". Most of these can be fixed with clean and press. 9.0 or higher Slyde 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slyde Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 Well, didn't get the 9.0 I was hoping for, but at least no major negative surprises. I did get this one pressed.

Looks like the board was a bit liberal with this one. Ah well, even CGC graders get it wrong from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 "9.0ish" = 8.5-9.2, so I am not surprised. I would be happy if I was you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am new to this, but it seems it is very tough to grade as you get into the higher end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
