mel3k Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Any thoughts on grade? Any help would be appreciated! Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 8.0±0.5 barring issue on the inside or additional creases that aren't visible. The two corners of the front cover appear to have some light, small color breaking creases. Is that a crease or tear above the CO in 'MARVEL COMICS GROUP'? Some small stress marks around the staple that I don't think come into play since it's <9.4. Otherwise very nice copy. mel3k 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inside looks good. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRoboto Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Honestly, 8.5. Despite that top and top right corner that spine is superb. Luu2010 and mel3k 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 7.5 mostly because of the color-breaking creasing of the right edge corners. It could grade higher though as that black cover is otherwise in remarkable shape and key bump. Thanks for posting. mel3k and Luu2010 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grebal Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 8.0. Shot at 8.5. The dog-eared/soft right corners are the main detraction, imo. mel3k 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JollyComics Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Since you don't have it, it's very hard to judge it without a book. It looks superb and it may be at least 8.0. Beware of any hidden color touch. If that book is from kellyscomics (ebay seller), run away from it. Luu2010 and mel3k 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still Only 35c Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I was at an 8.5 too (before seeing the other comments). mel3k and Luu2010 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
