Mars76 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 7.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I was ready to give a 7.5/8.0 & optimistic on the outcome, but I noticed one the 2nd time through there seems to be a stain right on Spidey's head in the water. Noticed it first on the reverse side in the Grow Live Monsters ad. I fear a stain, especially where it is, knocking this down to at least a 6.0, possibly a 5.5 Corvonie and bighairjer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a stain knock it down to 6.0/6.5. It's small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighairjer Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I think you are right on with the small stain 5.5/6.0. Still it’s a nice looking copy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I will say 7.5. That chip on the leading edge is the bit culprit. If not for it, I would be up to a full grade point more personally. Nice book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear a stain, especially where it is, knocking this down to at least a 6.0, possibly a 5.5 Thank you, as always, sc, for your thoroughness and also I hope if I send it in, they are not as thorough as you ;-) It’s definitely a stain and it has a texture. I hadn’t really noticed it! Now intro the rabbit hole of whether that defect is improvable and if so, by how much. Mostly likely, the risk will be too great for the bump, and I will be content with the Mona Lisa of 5.0s Edited June 26, 2023 by Corvonie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilskip Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 A really nice 6.0. Corvonie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
