waver99 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 hi all, all inputs appreciated. Some ink on the FC that goes through all pages and appears on the back cover too (faintly) and some color loss on G.Goblin's face.

10centcomics Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 If the "color loss" you're talking about is the white streak going past Green Goblin's ear, I think that is part of the artwork. I just looked at my copy and it has the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicginger1789 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Is there some colour loss near the top edge above/on the Marvel banner? The ink seems to be from distributor spray and if there is colour loss, it is probably from that ink sticking to a comic on top and being peeled off back in the day. 8.5 from me. You have a wiggly staple...haha, I have a couple bronze age books with similar lil wigglers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ink on the top of the book doesn't affect the grade that badly it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some info can be found here It appears like you have some of it pooling on the back, hence the black. And it appears in the banner that above "Comics" there is some colour loss, likely from that ink being wet and then hardening and then peeled off when the comic stacked on top was removed. It does affect the grade and here you can see how a major overspray can do so However, yours is minor hence why it should still be able to garner a VF grade.

Actually, I think I have seen a few with entire back covers painted blue. At any rate, that book without that much spray is probably a VF contender. Minor amounts though have had less effect. As mentioned in the thread 9.0+ books have been recorded with small amounts of spray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I would go 8.5 with the scrape at the top of "comics". Nice book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
