bapowell Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Hi all, Overall very nice copy of Secret Wars 8. Small tear upper corner FC, non-color breaking indentation FC (on Spider-Man's body, see pics). There is some weird, faint yellowish discoloration on the back cover, that appears to be related to the green print on the last page (almost like it transferred somehow); again, see pics. Otherwise, corners are sharp and spine is great shape. Thanks! Edited January 21, 2022 by bapowell Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophe9999 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I have a similar copy at CGC waiting for grading right now. Mine also had the weird yellowish color on the back so I think you are right about the color bleeding into the back. Depending on how CGC treats that coloring issue I'd say a 9.0 - 9.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the 1st cover picture, it looks like some small curve on the top edge, and the same on bottom. And the lower right corner looks like it bendt/lifted upward. Alt this and the cover look perfectly flat. But it looks fine on the 2nd picture :). So maybe that was because of the view angle when the picture taken.

THE_BEYONDER Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I’ve seen much worse 9.2s, so it think this book probably grades 9.0 at worst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
