CA 217 - very sharp copy 2 2

[JollyComics]

Hello folks!

The copy is in superb shape but I am not sure how to grade on one little odd defect.   Just help it out for me.  Right now I am currently selling my nearly full run of Cap in a mixed age sale thread.   I put it on hold until I get the right grade.  I would say it NM but I let you to judge it.

Look at the lower right corner then go up to white hair man's orange shirt.  Thank you for giving it a grade.

Just to let you know, I checked my copies of CA 217 and they do not look like yours, maybe ruling out printing defect.

Look forward to it.

Looks to be a bit of sun fade. Part of the cover was exposed while the rest was likely kept safe in a stack.

It's a minor flaw IMO. 8.5/9.0.

Thanks for posting.

What grade do you think without minor sun fade?

Strong 9.0. There's some discoloration/aging around the edges of the back cover and one corner is slightly blunted. Maybe 9.2.

The back cover is glossy. The scanner and I see differently. There is no discoloration on the back cover.  There is no single blunted corner.  I would blame on my old scanner for not selling well.

+1 Agreed

8.5-9.0

We don’t know if it’s an environmental issue or a printing defect on a random issue. I see it as very minor.. 9.0 9.2 as is

Sun fade…9.0/9.2
