Please grade my Wolverine #1 Part II

[Norrin_Radd]

 

[KingOfRulers]

I am tempted to say it could get a 9.9.

[divad]

2/5?

 

So that mark at the TSBC is a printing stripe, eh?

Yup. I think all four of my copies have it.

[KingOfRulers]

...I must be missing something?

[Aces]

9.8+

[JammnIT]

9.8+ mark or not

The only defect I see is a wavering to the LEBC - is there slightly bent overhang? Or is the crooked edge a scanner trick?

Pretty hard to grade a book like that from a scan. Since it's a modern, even one or two spine tics that don't break color could mean the difference between a 9.6 or a 9.8+. Without seeing the book in person, I don't get how anyone could grade a modern over a 9.6 from just a scan.
