Kawnipi Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) Got this in a Whatnot sale the other day and was pleased with the purchase. I can provide additional pictures if needed. Thanks to all who reply. Edit. added some more pictures. The spots on the H are some type of stain instead of surface material. They don't go through the front cover. Not sure what type of stain they are. Edited June 29, 2022 by Kawnipi added more pictures. Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 For the record, I am a big fan of the 169/170 covers. More photos would help. I see some curling on the bottom left of the back cover. No idea if that's pressable. A little dirty on the back. Hopefully that can be cleaned. I would start at 8.0 and hope the work would move it up from there. There's a caveat though. I see a couple of light spots in the H of THOR on the front cover. Depending on what that is, you could lose 0.5-1.0 pts, perhaps more if it's staining and is deemed significant enough.

I'm going to downgrade to no better than a 7.5 b/c it seems like CGC is hard on stains and it jumps right out at you. That back corner won't help.

Bayowolf Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Worst defect for me is that piece out at corner through entire book,small though. 7.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
