Wahoo88 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) Another favorite of mine. This book has some corner wear, especially the upper left front cover, and some visible spine ticks. Thanks in advance for your thoughts on the grade. Edited December 20, 2022 by Wahoo88 Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 8.5±0.5. I'd be a little concerned if the top edge is discoloring/foxing/oxidizing. Can't say for sure, but the inside of the top cover and the back cover upper edges look a little darker to me. CGC isn't kind when it comes to this for some reason. Nice book, great cover.

Wahoo88 Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 This book came in at the lower end of the range of estimates in this thread. I thought it would grade a bit higher. Thank you all for the grades and comments. grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars76 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Looks nicer than a 7.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see in the notes that there's fading in the TLFC corner, and soiling on cover. Not sure I see the fade in the photos. Not sure about the soiling either. Maybe it means the edges on the back? IDK. The other outcome of this post was I bought a copy of this book b/c I liked it too much Mars76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some tanning or foxing on the rear cover, but it doesn't look bad in my opinion. You can see some fading in the green area TLFC on the spine-side of the surfer. The green goes to a more blue-green near the spine. I think that is what was flagged in the grader notes. But the black areas below near the spine don't show any fade or color change.

Plus you have two of Marvel's most powerful characters foregoing their other powers and resorting to MMA-style combat in the middle of NYC. No cosmic blasts to be seen. scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
