RonMob Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Daredevil 168, several spine ticks, tiny tear on front top edge. Am I crazy to think this should be around 7.5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think its got merits for a bump, crack it, clean/press and resubmit Nice book otherwise Edited January 12, 2022 by PunisherPunisherPunisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoggyNelson Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Yes it does look way undergraded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 You are not crazy. Looks a grade or two better. I think all my slabs are undergraded. Except my sole 9.8 which I think is overgraded. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This book could be 7.0-7.5 after a press. The book is currently at a much cheaper price market wise than before so you could still submit it for the modern tier after a press. However, is the price difference between a 6.0 and 7.0 worth the money that will cost? And to answer the question, while the book sure looks nice, we can't know for sure it's misgraded until you remove it from the slab. grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 They seem to be hammering rips on modern books (and when I say modern I mean 1980 to now). Def presents like 7.0-7.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonMob Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 Thanks for the feedback guys. I was expecting it to come back around 7.5 and am disappointed. I have seen 6.0s that are so much more beat up and I am debating cracking, pressing again and resubmitting. I did press it before submitting the first time. I guess I need to figure out if it worth the cost of submitting again for a ‘possible’ 1.0 bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
