grendelbo Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 8.0/8.5 after that C&P. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAY1979 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 The is some color loss on some of the stress lines and tiny tear near center on left back cover. My opinion is borderline 8.5 / 9.0 , a press might make the needle stick to 9? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Looks worse than my 9.0 ASM 238...colour rub top left of spine in the black blurb, a minute corner crease bottom right plus on the back that tiny rip 8.5 from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cushing Fan Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 8.0 as is. A C&P might help the back cover to bump up to a 8.5c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Visiting Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I'm a bit shocked at the 8.0 grade. No less than 8.5 would have have been my guess. Maybe it has more color rubbing than we can see. Would be interesting to see the grader notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is considered light rippling also ? Were both of those terms ....light rippling and warping describing the top of the front cover ? Wouldn't the press take that out ? Isn't that why people pay to press their comics ? Spine stress lines are tics ? Weren't some color breaking ? Why isn't that mentioned ? Seems they were harder on the warping than the stress lines ....that can't be can it ? P.S. I have a long way to go in understanding this grading...it's very involved was a C&P done?

nebyort Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 You can see it some here with the way the cover overlaps the pages he wasnt able to get it all out Funnybooks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Visiting Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Back cover took a few hits but no mention of the "tiny tear" on back left side covers edge in the middle, if in fact it is a tear. no mention of the corner crease on front cover bottom right corner. Yes, it is still a great looking copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zegeroth Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 That light rippling and warping on the top is the result of too much humidity on a press usually. They are flagging that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
