ComicSpa Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Heavy creases to spine front and back. That thick paper is unforgiving for creases. Scratches on top of back cover, and impressions around staples show on back cover also. Inside is great. No issues. Thx for feedback everyone!

cchunn3 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 A few light spine ticks that don't break color and slight blunting BRFCorner... 9 or better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolidShredder Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 CGC tends to be more forgiving with these cardstock covers since they are hard to get in perfect condition. Just the act of folding them in the factory usually creates flaws. I remember looking at a bunch of ASM 365s and being shocked at the grades they received with large spine ticks, color rub, and scratching on the hologram. I would not be surprised to see this get a 9.0-9.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I'd say max 9.0 for the reasons you describe and also b/c they see a lot of this book 20K censes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 This is a tough book to grade without it in hand. Still, I'd say 9.0/9.2. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
