PGM Thor #163 1 1

[universal soldier]

Solid higher end mid-grade copy that is impacted by the moisture staining seen on the back cover bottom. Seems to be some minor transfer to the first wrap or two. Front is not as evident and restricted to BLC only. How badly would the moisture hurt the grade?

Apparent 6.5 but 4.0 tops for the water staining.

yeah just a VG+ but looks better

Small crease or scratch on the TRFC and I see something (another stain?) in Thor's arm on the BLFC. The staining is a killer though. 4.5±0.5

Yes, same stain as the back but much lighter and only really visible from the inside FC. Probably about a 1" triangle.

For reference, find the stain on this book. I thought this one had a chance to be 8ish & the main reason I suspect it wasn't was the tiny stain that we didn't notice. Pretty rough time to send a stained book to CGC IMO, but I've started examining books my books for stains like I'm studying the Zapruder film for Oliver Stone.

I figured the stain on this one would cost about 1.5/2.0 on this one. I have a GS X-men that I thought for sure was an 8.0 and it came back a 6.0.
