Cdt1274 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Would love to hear your thoughts. Bought this off of eBay for a good deal. Seller was pushing a higher grade in the description but never know what to think. Very clean book with sharp edges. Only issues I find are a very small non color break tick on the bottom left FC, near spideys logo(pic 5) and color rub on the bottom right of the BC, with two color breaking ticks mixed in with the rub would love to hear your thoughts.

Bayowolf Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Also very slight blunting of spine corners on FC, If it wasn't for that color rub on back you could go 9.4 but I think that knocks it down to 9.0/9.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I've seen copies of this issue with back cover color-breaking ticks that look worse than your copy with color rub. And those have been graded NM. Still, I'd say 8.5/9.0. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I had those copies with the color break ticks if that were the case. 😀 what do you think is the biggest thing that drives it into VF+ territory? Does CGC really hammer books for that size color rub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JollyComics Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I have CGC 8.5. One corner is bent that broke the color. For that color rub area is pretty long (from the lower staple to the corner), it may go to 8.5/9.0. grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
