6 posts in this topic

Slightly blunted left side corners w/slight color rub, slight color rub at lower right corner, moderate color rub on outer edge by "Avalanche", 1-2 spine ticks that slightly break color, cover is off center.

IMO...

9.2 NEAR MINT- (NM-):  Back to Top
Nearly perfect with only a minor additional defect or defects that keep it from Near Mint. A limited number of minor bindery/printing defects are allowed. Cover is flat with no surface wear. Inks are bright with only the slightest dimming of reflectivity. Corners are cut square and sharp with ever-so-slight blunting permitted. A 1/16-1/8" bend is permitted with no color break. Small, inconspicuous, lightly penciled, stamped or inked arrival dates are acceptable as long as they are in an unobtrusive location. Slight foxing. Spine is tight and flat. Staples may show some discoloration. Almost no stress lines. Paper is off-white to cream, supple and fresh. Slight interior tears are allowed.

9.0 VERY FINE/NEAR MINT (VF/NM):  Back to Top
Nearly perfect with outstanding eye appeal. A limited number of bindery/printing defects are allowed. Cover is almost flat with almost imperceptible wear. Inks are bright with slightly diminished reflectivity. An 1/8" bend is allowed if color is not broken. Corners are cut square and sharp with ever-so-slight blunting permitted but no creases. Several lightly penciled, stamped or inked arrival dates are acceptable. Very minor foxing. Spine is tight and flat. Staples may show some discoloration. Only the slightest staple tears are allowed. A very minor accumulation of stress lines may be present if they are nearly imperceptible. Paper is off-white to cream and supple. Very minor interior tears may be present.

Use my ASM16 as a comp. The miswrap is similar, mine slightly less going by the UPC symbol location, and I'd argue the corners & spine are cleaner on my book. I think mine graded too low, but they don't consult the owner before slapping a 9.0 on something. Yours is a newsstand, so maybe a tad of leniency, but I'd say 9.0 as above with an outside chance at 9.2.

Hm, I'm still going to submit this as I've been wanting it for awhile. I hope I can get a 9.2! I have a feeling my next submission my grades are going to be all over the place.
