New Mutants 87 3 3

The question is simple..do you think this one can fetch an 8.0 ??

On the back cover there is a little discolouring and very small, sharp tear where a price tag was.  

As usual thanks in advance

With a press - 8.0/8.5.

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you  dry and concise. 

Do you agree with @grendelbo ? I mean maybe with pressing can reach 8.0

The front is pretty nice. From experience, I find CGC can be forgiving if flaws are on the back. Now the rub/discolouration and the small tear are noticeable. I sent off my ASM 252 last year and it came back a 9.0 with many spine ticks (more than I thought would be allowed) but because they were only seem from the back cover, I feel like it got averaged out (the front was a 9.4, the back to me more an 8.0, to they finalized a grade in between). This is probably not exactly how they do it but it gives some idea. To me, your book is similar, maybe a bit worse on the back. I feel 8.5 is achievable here. If they hammer it down, the lowest I am seeing is 7.5

Thank you @comicginger1789 !

Maybe an 8.0.  CGC’s grading has been unpredictable of late.  Even we long time grade ‘estimators’ are seeing weirdness come from CGC. 

[The_Endless]

Looks like an 8.5 to me

Yup.

We board graders tend to be conservative. Books typically will come back higher than our estimates. Also, CGC lately seems to be a lot more forgiving of flaws in books FN or better.

Thank you @The_Endless and @Galen130 clearly the time to see if I'm lucky then

8.0 not a given

appears to exhibit some tape pull on the back cover?

Safely 7.0...maybe 7.5 after C&P

Looks like 8.0 from what’s observable

There was a price tag and someone removed it before I got the comic.

There is also a small, very sharp tear on the edge where the tag was...

@Februus Thank you very much
