kccoig14 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) I just picked up this Avengers 196 at an antique store for 2 dollars (I haven't scored like that in awhile). Now I need some help with the grade. This thing is pretty crisp, the only major flaws I can see is the spine roll and the little indentations in the 3rd(on the edge below the spidey box) and 4th(towards the edge, just on the other side of taskmasters bow) pictures. No issues with the interior. Thanks for the help!

KCOComics Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 How do the staples look? In some pictures, they seem discolored. In other pictures they look fine. Over all a pretty looking book. The spine roll can be pressed and it doesn't look like it caused color breaking creases. I think 8.0 after press ( assuming staples look good) kccoig14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysterymachine Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I don't see anything wrong other than the spine roll and maybe a couple small indentations. Unless I'm missing something, a press should bring it to at least 9.0 maybe 9.2. kccoig14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're discolored in that one picture because of the spinenroll and the way the light is reflecting off it. 5 hours ago, mysterymachine said: I don't see anything wrong other than the spine roll and maybe a couple small indentations.

I'm sure a press would take out the roll and the indentation on the top of the cover, not sure about the bottom part though. Thanks everyone for your input so far!
