juniperpt Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Tonight's focus is on DC. First up is the bi-centenial issue that personally I am not fond of. Too much pink, reminds me of T-Mobile. It appears to have some foxing around the edges and could use a c/p. As always appreciate your time in evaluatiing the comic, your comments and your grades!

Mars76 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 This book could use a good cleaning. 7.0 as is. juniperpt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I'm not a foxing expert, but the spot around the CCA box looks like it could be a stain, not foxing. If CGC says it's staining, 5.5. If it's foxing, I'm still more like a 6.0 with a chance at 6.5 with c/p. White giveth & white taketh away. It looks to me like the white background is hiding some spine stress and other wear. juniperpt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I'm going 5.5 (always wanted a copy myself. First Adams cover on Batman.) juniperpt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upon closer inspection, the stain/foxing does not penetrate the paper to the opposite side. Rather is appears to "rest" on the surface of the paper. Thanks for pointing that out!

JollyComics Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Foxing doesn't penetrate the paper. The foxing is the answer. The structure is about 8.0/8.5. With small foxing on two areas, it's about 7.0. juniperpt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
