It's certainly an excellent copy. There appears to be slight color lift shown by the white speckling on the front cover. The grade could very well be higher.

Thanks for posting.

I'm concerned that there's actually quite a bit of color lift -- in the N in Noir, between the S and P of Spider, sort of all around the E and R of Spider, and on Spider-Man's lower torso and right leg. I know that's sort of an occupational hazard of some recent high-gloss covers, but I don't have a lot of experience with how CGC grades affected books. Taking a wild stab at this, I suspect the penalty will be harsher due to the area of the cover affected; CGC weights most types of defects more heavily when their size is larger (even if their severity is not). So I'm going to deviate from my (probably wiser) colleagues here and say 9.2, but with a lower confidence than I try to have in my predictions.
