MrRoboto Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) Hi Guys! I was wondering what the grade on this Batman #423 could fetch. I am 99% sure I am going to send it in, but want a good idea of what the grade could be. Also to note: the pages are off-white to white. -MrRoboto Edited May 30, 2022 by MrRoboto Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendelbo Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Looks 9.2-ish. Back cover may be showing some handling wear. A press will get it to 9.4 or better. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got charged for all but maybe I'll crack and resubmit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don't trust CGC to press books so use someone local and review the books before sending, but live in a big city where there are options, not everyone has that I know.

Wouldn't help with stress lines. I can see the vertical non color break crease on the front line from the Batman's cape to McFarlane's signature. Also, I can see the top staple was pressed down on the back cover. Two spine corners are little round. I agreed with 9.0. Well, I believe this book needs to be pressed. It may bump to 9.2 - maybe 9.4 if you are luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
