jherm3 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 I have this decent copy of Sandman #1 which has a peculiar tear/hole on both the front and back covers. Hopefully this is clearly visible in the photos I've attached. It also has some bends in the spine from not standing upright in a box. I'm curious to know how you all would grade it considering these significant defects. Thank you! Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Do these cover tears/punctures affect interior pages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tear just happens to be in the same spot on both front and back, but there are no interior tears in that spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Odd damage. At the end of the day a tear is a tear. The book also has a dark blemish front cover spine edge near the cat. 7.5 maybe 8.0. Thanks for sharing. One of my favorite comicbooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that blemish as well, and I'll have to take a closer look to see what it actually is. Thanks for your opinion, I really appreciate it!
