Pangolin Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I'd like to know how much one obvious defect can affect the grade of a comic. So assuming that this comic is a 9.8, at which grade would it be downgraded if the only obvious defect is a crushed corner like the one above. Kudos to anyone who can tell what comic it is.

ThothAmon Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) Looks like DHP 10 to me. No better than an 8.0 imho. Edited September 13, 2021 by ThothAmon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzutak Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Did a small spine split develop as a result of the stub? CHASEnBLUE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayowolf Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 IF that is ONLY defect then 8.5 maybe 9.0 grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzutak Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Unfortunate, but often the case with heavy stubs. I think the damage is visually distracting enough to warrant a downgrade to 8.0 VF. mysterymachine and Pangolin 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pangolin Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 Thanks to all for your input. I was around 8.0 myself and from my point of view pressing it will not give this comic a 9.0 or better grade. grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
