Kawnipi Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Picked this up the other day. I plan to have it pressed if it will improve the grade. Still kicking myself for stopping collecting comics when ASM 298 came out. A couple of more months and I would have had 298-300. Ah such is life.

marvelmaniac Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Slight Edge/Corner Wear, Light Stress Lines W/Color Break, slight spine roll. IMO, it is the stress lines w/color break that keep this book from being a higher grade. 8.0 VERY FINE (VF): Back to TopAn excellent copy with outstanding eye appeal. A limited accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Cover is relatively flat with minimal surface wear beginning to show, possibly including some minute wear at corners. Inks are generally bright with moderate to high reflectivity. An unnoticeable 1/4" crease is acceptable if color is not broken. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. Minor foxing. Spine is almost completely flat with a possible minor color break. Staples may show some discoloration. Very slight staple tears and a few almost insignificant stress lines may be present. Paper is cream to tan and supple. Centerfold is mostly secure. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Some spine tickery happening. Believe it or not, the killer will be that slight edge tanning or browning to the bottom edge. 7.5 or so from me. MAR1979 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galen130 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Maybe 8.0/8.5 after a C&P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
