ComicSpa Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Heavy impressions in the middle of front cover and a couple of ticks on back cover. Inside is great. No issues! Feedback appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvelmaniac Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I do not see the "heavy impressions" you are referring to. I do see slight corner wear at the top right corner, color loss along the spine (from the hard cover stock and opening the book, how does CGC view this?), small, color breaking crease at the top left of rear cover. Without taking the "heavy impressions" into consideration, IMO, the color breaking crease prevents this book from being a higher grade, if the impressions are there, the grade may/will be lower, based on the entirety of the book and it's overall appearance... 9.0 VERY FINE/NEAR MINT (VF/NM): Back to Top Nearly perfect with outstanding eye appeal. A limited number of bindery/printing defects are allowed. Cover is almost flat with almost imperceptible wear. Inks are bright with slightly diminished reflectivity. An 1/8" bend is allowed if color is not broken. Corners are cut square and sharp with ever-so-slight blunting permitted but no creases. Several lightly penciled, stamped or inked arrival dates are acceptable. Very minor foxing. Spine is tight and flat. Staples may show some discoloration. Only the slightest staple tears are allowed. A very minor accumulation of stress lines may be present if they are nearly imperceptible. Paper is off-white to cream and supple. Very minor interior tears may be present. 8.5 VERY FINE+ (VF+): Back to Top Fits the criteria for Very Fine but with an additional virtue or small accumulation of virtues that improves the book's appearance by a perceptible amount. 8.0 VERY FINE (VF): An unnoticeable 1/4" crease is acceptable if color is not broken.
