ck_leyman Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I'm super new to the world of grading comics so I could use a little help. I spent a bunch of hours researching over the past few weeks, but I still get completely thrown off by seemingly little things that are actually big deals or vice versa. Before I send anything off to get graded, I want to get some general opinions on a couple of the comics I'm considering sending, if that's alright with you all. Thanks in advance for your help!

Galen130 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Welcome to the boards!!! Spine roll, misaligned cover/staples, staple rust, rust migration from bottom staple, a few noticeable spine tics...overall a decent copy though. I’ll go 6.0 after a clean/press.

theCapraAegagrus Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 6.0 IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Are the staples discolouring/rusting? It is hard to make out. If they are, 6.0 seems right. If not, this book is more likely a 7.0-7.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpoolica Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 6.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH1964 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 6.5, because I’m easily distracted by shiny things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatterEaterLad Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Guessing a 6.0, but it presents as a 7.5 (darn rusty staples!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it’s the migration on the bottom staple that soured me. Then again, I don’t work for CGC...might be different once they are done with it.
