ComicSpa Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Man this is a very nice book. It has its defects but boy l don’t see them like this too much. Staple puncture on top staple f/c, crease on f/c, spine just a little bent on bottom, and the worst defect on this book is the stain on the back cover. So close to a minty mint. Inside is great. Tell me what you think! Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 I think all that matters here is the stain. It's not that unsightly, but I think CGC tags this with a 6.0. 6.5 as an outside possibility. I'd definitely own this book even with a stain-reduced grade. I don't think I can ever justify paying the price that a copy that looks this nice otherwise.

capt hook Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Even with the stain I'd give it a 7.0/7.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southern cross Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 I'm at a 6.5 that stain is a little too big and unfortunately there, the front is a sweet minty 9 look to it 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahsoka Tano Jedi Apprentice Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 I'd like to think it could be a 7.0 but ...probably a little lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lninefingers Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 I'm on team 6.5. It's just so much cleaner than the Silver Surfer #4 5.5 I just got back and would be an 8 I were king of the world. But since I'm not, and the CGC hammers stains I think it's going to really hold the grade down. Hopefully the stain being on the back allows for a little more upside than the 6.0 that they hit me with on this book due to staining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAvenger80 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Yeah, i was thinking 9.0 at least besides the stain. is it water damaged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSt4r Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I would say 8.0/8.5 - it is above average condition - maybe the stain is cleanable somehow? (but not sure if CGC would detect it and sanction it???) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
