phantomdj Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 How much does the penned date (looks like an old flair pen) and tear on bottom right back affect the grade? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scburdet Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 The pen looks like a distributor's mark & is considered allowable, especially at this grade. The tear is just one of several small to medium defects that accumulate to an overall score. The color breaking creases on the front, the rough looking top edge, and the grime on the back are the larger issues b/c of the impact on the overall aesthetics. I'd call this a 4.5/5.0. C/P is recommended. Mars76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 5.0 The defects you asked about won't matter in this book's grade range. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 4.0 to 4.5 with all the small defects added together. I like arrival dates on comics. All part of the history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
