Kermit the frog Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 why damned?! it's a very nice 8.5 comic... or is there a serious flaw i'm not seeing?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osborn_fr Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 or is there a serious flaw i'm not seeing?! No. But it's a fu@#ing damned black cover ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timulty Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 8.5 definitely. That crease on the bottom right is the only thing keeping it from going higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nik Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 8.0 This one and Subby #8 are by far my favorite black covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marvelcollector Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 9.0? Are you High??? No...you can comment that the grade might be... I don't see much in the way of flaws here... one large spine stress on that unforgiving black cover, (what appear to be) non CB creases on corners..nothing inconsistent with OCGG, imo...

Timulty Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Look at back cover. Bottom right corner. Front Minor breaks and what appears to be very light crease on botton right corner. It keeps it from 9.0. If this were gold it would be 8.0. But since it is Silver. 8.5. However, if I collected this comic I would be very happy with it. Very nice clean cover.

osborn_fr Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 Ok, now i can tell you: This is certainly the first time i buy a non certified comic that is undergraded by the seller: Ebay auction: FANTASTIC FOUR N° 112 - superbe numéro On Ebay France, you don't see this very often. I took my chance despite the fact that the picture on the auction was really small. I think this comic is somewhere between 8.0 and 9.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divad Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 8.0 due to light impact creases to spine corners (see BC), and two small crescent creases at TEBC. Nice copy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 7.0 Sorry if anyone thinks this is low. Impact damage on the back cover hurts and the top corner is really bad. If I was selling I just couldn't call a comic with that much damage on the spine corners a full VF. Then there is the foxing the length of the spine. That drops it from VF- to FVF IMO.

The flaws are really amplified on the picture. The colors brightness/contrast has been adjusted and i have used the "sharpen" function of my paint shop pro software. The book in my hands is very nice, even with this impact damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inconceivable Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 7.5 VF- The impact top spine that goes thru the book is the concern for me. Plus the ding bottom spine. They just seem a little larger than I would want in a 8.0 VF Still probably a good buy. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisco37 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 CGC grades this book pretty tough. I'd say 7.5. Impacts on the lower back cover and color breaks on FC. Black cover really makes this a tough one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
