JRich282 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 (edited) Good evening. I was wondering, if anyone has a moment to spare, if you could have a look at the front and back cover of my FF48 which is currently at CGC. I would love to hear your opinions on what the potential grade might be. I only have the 2 pics but the book is complete, fully attached and unrestored as far as I can tell. My biggest concern is the chipping at the top of the front cover. Does anyone know how much that may affect the grade? Thanks Edited September 10, 2022 by JRich282 Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzutak Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 The governing (or most critical) flaws are: (1) the fraying along the entire top edge of the front cover; and (2) the oxidation halo evident on the back cover (which suggests there's a similar halo on the inside covers). Oxidation along the book's top edge may explain why the over-cover has moved beyond the bending/creasing stage and into the chipping stage. If this was my submission, I'd be completely satisfied to see it certified as a CGC 6.0. grendelbo and JRich282 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I was also thinking 5.5/6.0. Nice copy. Thanks for sharing. JRich282 and zzutak 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRoboto Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I’ll go with 5.5. Very nice comic given the age of it. JRich282 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Yep, the guys above are right on. I'd say 5.5 to be safe. Really nice! MrRoboto, JRich282 and grendelbo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lions Den Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I have no problem with a 6.0 on this one... JRich282 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rexinnih Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Curious what you come back with after submitting this one. Beautiful color but how much deduction for the top. I'll go higher end 6.0. JRich282 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
