You know, like the Fast Track tier. "Happy Track"? PunisherPunisherPunisher, grendelbo and Funnybooks 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzutak Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) On 1/14/2022 at 5:28 AM, bapowell said: I was able to mostly press the bend out, though it's still evident if the angle is right, and the crease shows up with a light color-break. Wondering what you all think this does to the grade. Trust me on this: if/when CGC (or any detail-oriented collector) examines this book, the angle will be right! In my opinion, this is a serious blemish that absolutely kills the grade. The bend/crease appears to be about 3" long. It's a pretty copy otherwise, but I don't think "pretty" will save the grade. This AF #15 is a pretty 9.4 NM copy, aside from the binder holes; but it would only be a 3.0 GD/VG if placed in a Universal (Blue Label) holder.

I'd say 8.0/8.5 I still recomend you send it in and then show us what grade it got.

SNiPER Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 The newer the book, the harder they will hit it for that crease imho 7.5, 8.0 if the grader woke up in his happy place😁 Funnybooks, Point Five and grendelbo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
