Garda Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Please Grade Kazar The Savage Comic #1 book. I have a guess of 9.0 but I may be way off base since it is older. Thank you! I am learning a lot from this forum. Should I be showing the inside pages for color? Am I including enough pictures? Garda Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvelmaniac Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Normally I would suggest pics of the front/rear covers with closer/clear pics of the spine/staples/corners, pics of the inside front/rear covers and centerfold, your last pic has a reflection so it is difficult to actually see the creasing/wrinkles and whether they do break color as it appears they do in the first photo. Color breaking creases/wrinkles on top edge, minor spine stress with a couple of minor spine ticks, slight wrinkling on rear cover. If the creasing on the top edge does break color, IMO... 7.0 FINE/VERY FINE (FN/VF): Back to TopAn above-average copy that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with outstanding eye appeal. A small accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor cover wear beginning to show, possibly including minor creases. Corners may be blunted. Inks are generally bright with a moderate reduction in reflectivity. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. Minor foxing. The slightest spine roll may be present, as well as a possible moderate color break. Staples may show some discoloration. Slight staple tears and a small accumulation of light stress lines may be present. Slight rust migration. Paper is cream to tan. Centerfold is mostly secure. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 definitely not a 9.0. There is clearly a color breaking crease above group, and there's other creasing that might press OK above the title. I see something above Zabu's head. Any color breaking crease like the one above knocks you down below 8.0 by CGC standards. Even pressed, I don't think this is a grading candidate. You can find high grade copies for close to what it would cost to send this to CGC. MAY1979 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 This comic may press to an 8.0, but there's too much color-loss to be a 9.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
