kinankids Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Front two with a scanner, inside two with my phone. I'm a newb, so I'm still figuring out how to take photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 There's blue ink in the N of New that I can't tell if it was added or came from printing. I looked at a few examples & haven't found another copy with the same marking. Grade will depend on what this is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at 9.4 but yes, not sure what's going on with the ink. @kinankids did you buy this new off the newstands or LCS? The good news is that the books you've shown us so far are high grade. That suggests that most of your collection will be similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cman429 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 I was at 9.4-9.6 until the ink issue. If that’s a pen mark you’ll lose some points on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAR1979 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Somewhere in the 9.2-9.6 range, however if that is a pen mark no more than a 7.5. If not a pen mark, given it's a newsstand I would certainly consider sending it for grading. Please note; Scanner pics hide defects which more times than not lead to over estimations.

awildhome Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Nice copy. That looks like a pen mark, but an odd place to write on a book. I'd go 9.4-9.6 depending on what CGC finds when they put it under their Titan Krios cryo-electron microscope. Ha. Thanks for sharing. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
