marvelmaniac Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 The only thing I see with this book is the top edge is not properly trimmed. After looking at other copies online it appears to be a bindery defect, some issues are trimmed properly but others look like yours, IMO, this does affect the aesthetic appeal of the book. I do not know how CGC would view this, going by the grading standards I feel the mis-trimmed top edge lowers the grade to a... 9.2 NEAR MINT- (NM-): Back to TopNearly 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. VF 8.0 - NM- 9.2 - A limited accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects are allowed. NM 9.4 - NM+ 9.6 - Only Subtle bindery/printing defects are allowed.
