ComicLink's next Featured Auction Has Started Posting Books 1 1

Damn the FF5 9.4 is starting out strong 🤯.

That is a super strong price, and I wouldn't condemn anyone who wanted that book.  The right edge tanning is a bit of a turnoff for me personally, though, and I can't see why CVA would put its mark on it for that reason.

Shameless plug -- for the money, I'd rather have the 3.5 in this auction instead!

Yeah I mean the only justification I can come up with is the CVA is representing that it of course presents well for its grade, which it does. I mean if the tanning wasn’t there, it’s a 9.6 all the way as far as I can tell, from the front cover at least. So I think that’s all the CVA sticker is alluding to. No doubt about it, the slight tanning on the right is a bit of a turnoff, but I’d still take this gorgeous 9.4 in a heartbeat over any lower grade lol. That is a super nice 3.5 though I will say 😍. From the looks of it, that deserves a CVA sticker as well.

That’s a beauty. Can we see the back cover?  Asking for a fiend.

[Drummy]

Sure! Both covers are shown on CLINK as well:

There must be significant hidden defects in this book to get that grade.  What a beautiful-presenting copy!!
