Matt1982 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) Appreciate all your expertise! Toward the bottom of all the pics is a shot of the cover where I tried to show you a crease. I honestly think that’s in the original paper, but I’ll leave it to the experts to decide what to do with it. Thanks again!

Nilo2 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I’d say 8-8.5 assuming no resto is present. Tiny corner crease in upper right corner of front cover may keep this from going higher. In any case, a gorgeous copy. Congrats! Matt1982 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 8.5±0.5. The little corner crease is determinative, but I've seen a few 9.0s with something like that Matt1982 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 (edited) @Matt1982 In the photo below…is that the crease you’re talking about? If not, what is that? Edited November 3, 2022 by Galen130 Matt1982 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaylam Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) A sharp looking book, 8.5-9.0. Looks like the only defects are along the top edge and right upper corner of the front cover. If the flaw running through Daredevil's uh...er, crotch is deemed a production flaw in the paper (printer's crease) your good, if they decide it's a post-production handling crease you might take a big hit on the grade.

If not, what is that? Yes, that’s what I was talking about. My presser thinks it’s a production issue - that it’s actually some kind of fold/crease that’s native to the paper itself. But obviously it’s hard to say. It doesn’t break color but also didn’t come out with the press. Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a production crease, which shouldn't affect the grade. 8.5, maybe a shot at 9.0 Matt1982 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadroch Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I can see it getting a 9.0, but am more comfortable calling it an 8.5. A very nice copy of a book I think has a huge upside. Matt1982 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBTOTHEC Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I am at a definite 8.5! Nice copy. Yes, that is a printers crease and usually does nothing to the grade. Matt1982 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Matt1982 Posted December 2, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2022 You guys were, again, spot on! I have to admit I was really hoping for that 9.0, but I can’t argue with this. Morganmi, scburdet, MrRoboto and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaylam Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Are they calling that printers crease a “light scratch center front cover”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
