ComicSpa Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 This is my second book. This has ticks and a manufacturing defect with the bottom staple. Did not go into the book completely. Not sure how this defect is evaluated and graded. Couldn’t find it in the Overstreet grading guide. Let me know guys. Thx Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I would consider this a subtle defect and if the comicbook was otherwise flawless, I believe it could still get a 9.8. Such defects should not have an effect on the grade unless they contribute to other flaws such as a tear, pull or crease near, in this example, the staple. This copy has some ticks and there is slight creasing at the bottom staple. I'm thinking 9.2. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zegeroth Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I see tics by both staples, edge wear, minor denting, off white pages, and white on the corners. Your ticks will press out and the edges will clean up too. I’ll go 9.6 with off white pages after a press and work on those tics. 9.4 if the ticks are still there.

Funnybooks Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 my initial reaction was 9.4 but the staple stress may be too much 9.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
