Nschenks Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Yep I’m BB fan, so this is the second one posted in as many months. This is a newsstand copy, and it has a few points I’m unsure of so figured I’d put it out into the world for feedback. 1-2 CB ticks on front and back, bit of wear at the spine corners, and general soiling (most noticeable on BLFC by the UPC). Also a bit of creasing BLFC as well. The line on the BRFC looks like a tear but it’s actually a small CB crease that doesn’t go edge to edge. Curious what y’all think it could go at if a good C&P takes care of some of that soiling and minor creasing by the UPC, as well as the curled spine. Thanks ahead of time for your thoughts!

Mars76 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) I want to say 9.0 but those creases by the UPC box keep me at an 8.5. Edited February 26, 2023 by Mars76 Nschenks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nschenks Posted February 28, 2023 Author Share Posted February 28, 2023 Thanks for the replies! Was hoping this could pull a 9.0 with a good C&P, but hey, that’s why I post here. Always tricky grading my own books that I want to be higher. Will probably hold off grading this one, based on the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nschenks Posted May 12, 2023 Author Share Posted May 12, 2023 Sooo I ended up subbing this because higher grade newsies are tricky to find, and I’m very surprised (and happy) to report it came back with a better than expected grade! To be fair, this cleaned up really nicely after a C&P (much of the creasing and soiling, as well as the stacking roll to the spine). This was a tricky one to grade, for sure! grendelbo and scburdet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
