ronvogel Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Back then I was buying up 4-8 copies of every X-Men/New Mutants, but nooo, not this. grendelbo and Galen130 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnybooks Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Extra points for being funny and laughing through the pain... appears at least 9.6 unless some of the graininess is color rub?

Most likely glare. I've yet to perfect my photo set-up, but this spot seems to at least be good for sharper images with truer colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pangolin Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Agree with the others, 9.6 The bottom left corner on the front cover will probably keep you away from a 9.8 Spider-Variant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider-Variant Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Been a long time since I tried one of these, but I too am in the 9.6 camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candygramformongo Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 What's the small white mark on the top left of back cover, directly across from the "S" in secrets? I'm not weighing in with some crazy grade until I've dotted all the i's and crossed all the t's!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case I'm gonna do the thing that no one on this board should ever do and say I think that might be a 9.8.... ("He's an insufficiently_thoughtful_person," they're whispering, and they're not wrong) That said, if you submit it you probably have just as good of a chance at a 9.6 as a 9.8 and even an outside chance at a 9.4 (lower than that really would surprise me). But to me this looks like a book that could be getting the magic number so I'm going on a limb and going with it. It's so crazy it just might twerk! Please do let us know if you end up submitting when you get the grade back!! ronvogel and Funnybooks 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grading's gonna happen as soon as I figure out which books I'm submitting for round 1 and as soon as I get over my chickens**t fear about sending these books, lol. candygramformongo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
