Nschenks Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) Hey all! I'm really hoping for a 9.6 on this one, but I'd love input before I sub. Flaws include one very small spine tick (that I can see) on the BC very top near the spine, minor bindery tears at the top and bottom spine (both around 1/16 inch or less), and very slightly white/blunted corner BRFC (though corner is fully intact). BLBC has slight bend, but it is not color breaking--it looks worse in the picture but should almost certainly press out to present better. Curious what y'all think--9.6 possible with a C&P? I know graders are probably very tough on this comic. Thanks ahead of time! Edited August 5, 2023 by Nsschenks 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 >9.2 I don't see bindery tears, or they're very small. A little unusual for this issue. Nschenks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly I misused the term. Just a little roughness to the very top and bottom corners of the spine. No actual tears I suppose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff2099 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 My spidey-sense says.. 9.6, outside chance of a 9.4 if grader's bf left her for Mary Jane the night before. Nschenks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Nschenks Posted August 5, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2023 Nice surprise here. Felt like a solid 9.4/9.6 to me, but I think I got a generous grader this round of submissions (something like 8 of the 13 books came back higher than expected). Props to @Claire_Thing for the bullseye! scburdet, mysterymachine, Spider-Variant and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
