Axelrod Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Hey, since someone else just put up their Watchmen 1, I thought I'd throw up mine also. For comparison purposes! I was also just curious in general about how much the back cover hits the overall grade. That massive amount of black is rough. Mine has what looks like some scuff marks, and maybe fingerprints (that might come out?), but also some random blue circles? No idea what those are or where they came from. I assume some kind of manufacturing thing? Maybe ink transfer? Thanks for looking! Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candygramformongo Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Yeah that back cover makes me nervous too. I'd say the front cover looks like a 9.2 to me, but depending on what all those things on the back are could be an 8.0. Overall an 8.5 for me.

grendelbo Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 8.5 largely due to the color rub. Spine looks alright but CGC seems to have a newer focus on frayed spines on issues with the heavier cover paper stock. Something to keep in mind. Thanks for sharing.

Good to know about the focus on frayed spines for those particular books, thanks @grendelbo !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
