Hiro Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Love this book! Got this in a mixed lot of DC & Marvel 20+ years ago. This actually was a double cover, but extra cover wasn't attached because of the square bound spine. Didn't upload the extra cover, should of kept it with the book, but didn't...have it, but need to dig it out... Presents great, but has book length cb crease along left side...have a grade in mind, but wondering what you thought...thanks!

Mars76 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Beautiful book! Too bad about that crease down the spine. I'm gonna say 6.0, although I think some of my fellow graders will give it a lower score. Hiro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scburdet Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) +1 on trying to press the various stuff under the SS's board. Could some of those wavy lines be printer's creases? I do see a color-breaking line on the far right. IDK if there's a name for this, as I have comics with similar lines. As far as the reader's crease, I bought the CGC guide so you don't have to. The book says max for a non-color breaking RC is 8.0 and a full length color breaking RC can go as low as 5.0. It also says square bounds are treated a little bit easier. This RC is color-breaking, but does not appear to be the full length with the color disruption. Beyond that, the book leaves ambiguity, which I'm sure is intentional. My feeling is that it's at least a mid-severity RC, so 6.5 max. I'll say 6.0±0.5 b/c there is uncertainty about the other little defect. By the way Edited December 21, 2022 by scburdet Hiro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
