PGM Wolverine #10 2 2

Remants of a corner impact, lower spine corner (you can see a line through Spider-Man's head in the UPC box). Some rub on the spine. Spine stress near Sabretooth's knee, but it doesn't break color (white area).

You have to look for paper damage when it's a white background since it only be non-color-breaking by default. Some brown splotches in the UPC box maybe. A bindery tear on the top corner. Max 9.4, more likely a grade or 2 lower.

What do you mean by "paper damage"? Tears and such?

[scburdet]

anything that damages paper fibers. Paper can be damaged but look like a non-color-breaking crease on a white page. White areas can be hard to grade in photos.

If there's no color to break, how is the grade affected?

[scburdet]

As if it was a color breaking crease or worse depending on what it is. Hinged creases are described in the CGC book

In addition to the other items mentioned, also a vertical stain line above Wolverines right foot. Hard to tell what it is, but the line stands out.

9.0/9.2. White backgrounds can be a gift or a curse, in my experience. I prefer black backgrounds even though they’re tougher, just because it’s easier to see the damage.
