Jesse-Lee Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) Picked up a Batman 423 2nd print at a con for what I felt was a nice price for the condition. I'm always trying to improve my grading, and I appreciate the insights from this group. I'll post scans and what I think is the grade - please tell me if/why I'm right or wrong. Thanks! So, I'm seeing multiple color-breaking spine tics, color rub in the upper left front on the DC logo, a little color rub apparent on the back cover, a slight ragged edge on the front upper right top cover (above the "R" in Decarlo), and a soft lower left corner (looking from the front). Is this around a 7.0? Or is that too harsh? Also, before someone calls out the apparent color-breaking scratch on the lower right front cover in Batman's cape: That mark is on every single 2nd print of this book that I've ever seen. I ended up getting a 2nd print CGC 9.6 of this awhile ago for a decent price, and I almost didn't buy it because of that mark, but I looked at a ton of other books, and it's always there in my experience.

grendelbo Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 7.0/7.5 Your observations of the book's flaws are good. C&P for solid 7.5, maybe 8.0. Thanks for sharing. Jesse-Lee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
