Nschenks Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) Hey everyone! New to the forum and wanted to post a few books I'm thinking about getting graded. Thought this one looked great, but some of the interior pages are chipping (not sure if right term) at the corner. Tried to get some pictures of it. Thanks in advance, all!

scburdet Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 The black streak on the BRBC and what looks like a bindery tear on that same corner are things to consider. The bindery tear is a little bigger than "allowable" at some higher grades. The corner damage on the interior pages could be production related, especially since the cover doesn't seem to have the same issue. If that's the case, it shouldn't count to much against the overall grade. I would say 9.2±0.2. The minor damage probably precludes NM+. If a CGC grader deemed the inner page damage to be handling related, I'd expect a couple grades lower 8.0/8.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowGradeBronze Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) The only real issues are bindery/manufacturing as covered above, which as stated may be more than those allowable in the highest grades. Slight soiling on Spidey's face. 9.0 to 9.4 (The backing board, no higher than 6.5) Edited January 6, 2023 by LowGradeBronze Nschenks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nschenks Posted February 9, 2023 Author Share Posted February 9, 2023 Pleasantly surprised by this. Suppose most of the stray ink and torn interior pages must have been deemed manufacturing defects. grendelbo and scburdet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
