Deano73 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I do plan on c&p and most likely grading. I'm in the process of getting my first order ready to send in, not sure if this will go yet. Thanks for any input! upload png Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvelmaniac Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I cannot comment on a Clean and Press since I do not use these services. Edge wear with color breaks on the outer edge, dings/wrinkles on top edge, a few spine ticks with color break, slightly blunted corners, two color breaking creases at lower right corner, wrinkling on rear cover. IMO, the color breaking creases at the lower right corner will prevent this book from grading higher. As the book sits right now... FN- 5.5 6.0 FINE (FN): Back to Top An above-average copy that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with no significant creasing or other serious defects. Some accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor cover wear apparent, with minor to moderate creases. Inks show a significant reduction in reflectivity. Blunted corners are more common, as is minor staining, soiling, discoloration, and/or foxing. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. A minor spine roll is allowed. There can also be a 1/4" spine split or severe color break. Staples may show minor discoloration. Minor staple tears and a few slight stress lines may be present, as well as minor rust migration. Paper is tan to brown and fairly supple with no signs of brittleness. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present. Centerfold may be loose. 5.5 FINE- (FN-): Back to Top Fits the criteria for Fine but with an additional defect or small accumulation of defects that detracts from the book's appearance by a perceptible amount. 5.0 VERY GOOD/FINE (VG/FN): Back to Top An above-average but well used comic book. An accumulation of bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor to moderate cover wear apparent, with minor to moderate creases and/or dimples. Inks have moderate to low reflectivity. Blunted corners are increasingly common, as is minor to moderate staining, discoloration, and/or foxing. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. A minor to moderate spine roll is allowed. A spine split of up to 1/2" may be present. Staples may show minor discoloration. Minor staple tears and minor stress lines may also be present, as well as minor rust migration. Paper is tan to brown with no signs of brittleness. Centerfold may be loose. Minor interior tears may also be present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I'm going to say it's 5.0 as is. C&P for 5.5. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
