juniperpt Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Third and final DC submission for tonight. Again this one is in rough shape. I am hoping that a good pressing to re-establish the spine/shape of the comic and a thorough cleaning to rid the extensive water stains will bump the grade up a notch. The paper has a "pulpy" feel to it, leading me to think that at one time this comic was left out in the rain. Yet the staples are clean with no rust. And as far as I know publishers did not use stainless steels staples. I did not buy 20 cent comics so again I do not know how I aquired this comic. Thanks in advance for looking and grading!

scburdet Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 3.5. Stains are going to hurt. juniperpt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollyComics Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 CGC doesn't love the stains. The stains are all over your book. It may be 2.5. Severe spine roll and one near book length and half book length color break creases will downgrade. The spine roll can be eliminated but the stains probably stay. juniperpt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best I can hope for is to reduce the intensity of the stains with the c/p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendelbo Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 3.0, maybe a grade higher because it generally presents well from the front. Thanks for posting. juniperpt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
