zzutak Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 The 2" mostly color-breaking crease across the bottom-right corner immediately puts the book in the sub-VF range for me. Factor in the soft corners, light front cover edge wear, and light back cover soiling, and light toning, and I'm at 6.5 FN+. A note to all: every collector I've personally known has, at one time or another, snagged a book on tape left attached to the top flap of the bag. The smart ones immediately change their ways and always completely remove the tape (or discard the bag). The really, really, really smart ones learn from the mistakes of others!

Thanks for the advise and input. Yeah, this is the first time this has happened to me. Believe me, it hurt when it happened. Lesson learned. Still happy that I was able to get a decent 50 for my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiro Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) 6.5 - Nice book with great color! Had my tape pull on a Hulk 101 in a short box lot that I was looking to buy many years ago. Was painful!... Edited October 4, 2021 by Hiro Odda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to have it pressed and cleaned. We will see what it grades as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no you snagged it whilst taking pics !?!?!?! Well...even still its a great copy. You might have lost a grade point because of it. Every collector at some point has tape snagged a book.....it happens. And when it does you never let it happen again haha grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point it is going in my personal collection. Would be sending in just for the protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH19 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 It’s amazing how often that issue seems to have a right bottom corner crease. My raw 7.0ish copy has one, too. Odda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I am not sure about is how much that tape snag is going to affect the grade. No plans on selling it though, for my personal collection.
