habsfan1 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) Going to submit this soon, and would appreciate your thoughts! Nice looking issue…things to look at: What is that along the top of the back cover and appears along the pages…is that water stain…how will the grade be hammered here? Also, there is a light scratch/crease (printers?) running from the wheelchair to the word “nothing” on the corner. Slight tear on the right hand side, beside the "stay back" Edited August 21, 2021 by habsfan1 Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Definitely looks like water/moisture damaged on the top edge of the book and the interior pages. Without this defect I'd say this copy would be around a 7.5. With it I'll go 5.0/5.5 as I suspect the defect runs through the entire interior of the book. I won't speculate on the front cover crease. Could be production-related but acceptable in this grade range regardless. habsfan1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candygramformongo Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Yeah, I'm at a 4.5/5.0 as-is with my big concerns being the water, the tear, and that top edge of the front cover. Still a lovely book and real shame about the water. Will you do a C&P or no? habsfan1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point Five Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I'd guess 4.5 but 5.0 wouldn't shock me. Beauty! habsfan1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I'm at 5.5 and I really wouldn't risk anything happening to it in a C&P. (I find C&P an unnatural thing to put a comic book through.) I would leave it exactly as is. Very pleasing copy! habsfan1 and grendelbo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnybooks Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 With the water damage it will most likely max out in the 5.0 range habsfan1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habsfan1 Posted September 9, 2021 Author Share Posted September 9, 2021 This one, I am also happy with. Got the results back and I wasn’t sure what the water mark would do. It came out as: 5.5 OW/W pages multiple crease right bottom of front coverspine stress lines cover breaks colorstain top of whole book Galen130 and Point Five 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
