GregT Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Looking to get a few Venom Lethal Protector 1's graded, with it's tight spread between raw and graded copies making anything less than a 9.8 break even or a loss, do you think it's worth the extra $ to press out the bend in these pictures (rest of the book has no defects I can see) or do you think it is likely to get a 9.8 with the bend?

Galen130 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Back cover pics would be helpful, but I believe I see spine tics above the top staple on the front. If so, not a 9.8 anyway. Deadpoolica 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theCapraAegagrus Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 1 spine tic could still keep it in contention for a 9.8 grade. I think those are part of the foil/art reflection, though. Hard to tell. You have to determine for yourself if it's worth the gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 People gamble on these types of books a lot, where it is 9.8 or bust. If you want a 9.8, buy one. If you want to hunt til you find one, be prepared to send in a couple that come back as 9.4-9.6. If you are trying to turn a profit, these are not the types of books to gamble on because they are so "all or nothing". Spend money on actual key books.
