Deutero Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) Just arrived today! Really like the condition of this copy but struggling with my grade estimate due to the slight damage to the back cover. What grade do you folks think this is? Thanks in advance Edited January 18, 2023 by Deutero Update Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Love me some Steranko art. I'd guess CGC would call that back damage a tape pull, even though IDK how you'd get that type of damage. Maybe you'd be around a 7.0 just for that. As big, if not bigger, issue at CGC is what looks like tanning/foxing, which is readily apparent with that much white cover. I got dinged pretty hard for some discoloration on just the inside of a cover. I think this might go as low as 5.0/5.5 Deutero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I see this as a 6.0/6.5 Thanks for posting. Deutero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
