First glance I thought 8.0

[scburdet]

Back cover needed. 7.5ish assuming no issues

Weird, not sure why it didn't post

[BuscemasAvengers]

7.5-8.0

[ROBTOTHEC]

Yeah, 8.0 at best. 

[comicginger1789]

Staple stress marks, tiny corner crease, other small areas of wear. 8.0 for me

Why? I don't think it looks at best a 8 based in my past posts

[Still Only 35c]

8.0 for me as well, but it will likely come back with a Qualified Green label as it looks like the top staple has popped.

Safe to say, cgc likes me lol. I'm gonna do that big 30 book submission I've been gearing towards now. To me I thought it was a 9.0, I just based it off of others I've seen. And the 8.5 I've seen pretty rough ones and I didn't think this was one of those.

you're entitled to a full refund of my grading fee. I've been reading CGC's new book, it states that stress lines are less of an issue with pre-modern books (which would grade much lower with the same number of them). That would seem to account for many of the concerns people had. What's a little surprising to me is a 9.4 given the volume of CGC notes. I've gotten four 9.4s back recently & only one had one note. Again, the books says a 9.4 can have a couple of slight handling defects so if I were you, I'd invest heavily in lottery tickets. Post the graded book photos when it comes in. Will be interesting to see.

Hahahahah

I have been very lucky with my submissions. Honestly, these would probably be my lottery tickets currently as I'm buying these comics for cheap typically. When I grade these comics myself I look at a glance for glaring issues, if there's any color breaking spine ticks then I just say no typically. Then I look closer and see what detracts from its appearance. If it's really minor stuff where I feel like it doesn't detract much just by looking normally, then I buy. That's how I've graded for my first submission at least.

9.4 seems like a gift grade for sure, but it looked a bit better than 8.0 in the pix. I would have guessed 8.5

[comicjoe1234]

[Cor88b]

I was guessing an 8.5 - 9.0. Nice grade!

 for kicks I clicked on this thread to see if it was the "modern Nova #1" and was just curious, I too was at 8.5/9.0 as is, but wasn't sure what pressing could do, that was sure a wild ride!
