CHASEnBLUE Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 A press would help for a few spots on the bc for sure. What is going on across the frog I can't really tell if it is a cb line or some sort of mark. If it can be pressed out I'll say 9.4.

Point Five Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 That looks like a production crease across the frog... no effect on grade. I think 9.4 is right on. Nice one! mel3k and CHASEnBLUE 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just gotten back into the hobby after a long hiatus and am trying to figure out how to grade accurately...I've really appreciated all the help I've found on these boards so far with the few posts I've made!

CHASEnBLUE Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Welcome! I'm currently working on learning to grade older and more worn/damaged comics...learn something new each day. We are not having a lot of "grade is in" posts at the moment most likely due to the backlog at CGC, but I have learned a lot from the before and after assessments. mel3k 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grebal Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Looks 9.4 to me. Back cover, bottom of spine there's a tiny impact ding that could bring it down a notch, and can't tell for sure at top of spine if small flake is out or some feathering at that corner. Looks sweet imo. mel3k 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funnybooks Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 9.2 as is 9.4 if you can press out that BC spine corner crease On 4/19/2021 at 3:52 PM, Deadpoolica said: 9.2 mel3k and Deadpoolica 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
