marvelmaniac Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Slight Marvel Chipping, slightly blunted corners, edge wear w/color breaks, minor to moderate spine stress/staple tears w/color breaks. IMO... 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.

TheAvenger80 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I think that might be a little generous. I was thinking 4.5 - 5.0. Nice book though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 It'll depend on how CGC deducts for the chipping. Marvel Chipping is a manufacturing defect but handling over time can worsen it and should be counted as a significant flaw. 4.5 Thanks for posting.

MrRoboto Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Early ASM normally gets that bump. I honestly want to go with 6.5 post press because of this book. If were 10 issues later, I would say 5.0/5.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engr62 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 If I were grading it... 4.5. If CGC is grading it... 5.5/6.0 based on my poor performance in the grading contest on this age of book. scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
