MrRoboto Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) As promised, here is my copy of Captain Marvel #26. Please note: In the 3rd picture, it looks like there is a tear in the bottom left part of the cover. It is not a tear and is actually a defect (manufacturing or what not). Checked inside the cover and saw no tear whatsoever. Should I C&P or no? Edited July 1, 2022 by MrRoboto Bo1983 and Galen130 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) My answer to C&P (unless the books is likely to be damaged) is yes given I'm still not sure what counts as a "finger bend". I think I might see some slight indentions on the back cover that could find the press useful. Easily a 9.0, maybe a 9.4. I think we're hard pressed without handling a high grade book to be more accurate than that. I will finish editing my photos of this book later and post it tonight for comparison. I think you might have me beat on account of one minor ding on mine. Edited July 1, 2022 by scburdet MrRoboto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 About an 8.0 as is. C&P if you plan on submitting. Otherwise why bother unless the defects bug you. It'll look just the same within a Mylites 2. (That being said I recently pressed a 4.0 that probably remained a 4.0. Some defects bothered me and I knew it'd approve the appearance of the book even within plastic.) It'll likely get to a 9.0/9.2 with a C&P. Thanks for posting.

I was working on my photos and noticed a water stain that escaped notice on my initial screening. Until I can confirm my C&Per has luck with water stains, or find someone who does, this one will be relegated to the pile of shame. I tip my cap and slink out the back door to fight another day.

Bo1983 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 9.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I'd say 8.0 with a question mark over whether page tanning affects grade. Bright flat and free of defects other than the corner bump most visible on base of spine as viewed on back cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
