Deutero Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) Posted a couple of photos of the bug bites in the main forum. Thinking of getting this slabbed now so I don’t have to look at them What grade do you think this might get? Edited February 19, 2022 by Deutero Typo!

grendelbo Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 The consensus on your other post was Silverfish damage. What are the black spots here? It almost looks like bleed-through from front cover color touch but it could be critter droppings. Deutero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a guess though as don’t have much experience with comics with bug bites etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Ries Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Eefee. 3.5. There are books I wouldn't send in to have graded and slabbed, you know? Past the point of no return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deutero Posted June 8, 2022 Author Share Posted June 8, 2022 @Ahsoka Tano Jedi Apprentice @grendelbo @FoggyNelson @MrRoboto @Aviali @Galen130 Hi all, Status just moved to shipped so got my grades and notes back for this one. You were all pretty close! It might have got to a 3.5 with a C&P but didn't seem worth it due to the other issues. 3.0 OFF WHITE TO WHITE wear spine breaks color worm holes right center of interior moderate creasing to cover multiple staple rusted staining to cover very light worm holes right center of front cover wear all corners of cover Funnybooks, Galen130, MrRoboto and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
