Grendel72 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 9.4 . Quite a number of Spine ticks. Is that a crease on the back bottom left cover ? Could drop to a 9.0. Dunno if a pressing would help to bump up the grade. Best to take the book out of the bag though when asking for opinions on grading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JollyComics Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I had owned many of them in past. Wished I held them little longer but Jeff Smith wore out my patient. He keeps changing many hands with Hollywood since 2008. Anyway, I am very familiar with Bone #1 well. Since it has easy telltale defects, you have multiple stress marks on the spine plus the small crease on the corner that broke color. It's safe to say in the range of 7.0 to 8.0. Make sure your book is properly pressed to keep it higher slightly. Envy that you have it! dikran and Februus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendelbo Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 8.0 C&P for 8.5 tops, IMO. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivegotneatstuff Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 7.5 that crease on the back along with all the spine nicks to me drops it below an 8 unfortunately ..but who knows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was debating between 7.0 - 7.5 - 8.0... had the crease been an inch long I'd be firmly in the 7.5 with the spine ticks. But we shall see... Kinda tough to set an FMV when there aren't too many sales. Guess I'll send it Express tier with a press and hope for an 8.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think most of the defects can be taken out, but the amount of spine ticks will most likely keep the book out of being above 9.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Cool Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 7.5 sounds about right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocGo Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 7.5 is probably the max with the sizable crease on the bottom left corner of the back cover and the color-breaking dent among the eyeballs on the left side of the front cover. Still a nice copy dikran 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
