scburdet Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) A while back I posted a copy of this zine for PGM, but decided it was not up to submission standards. I found a better copy that's on its way back from a signature in April and grading. Hoping they got each signatures on the right side of the book. I didn't know the 2 artists would actually come close to me in only a few months or I probably would have done it myself. I did pay for pressing Edit: here's the post on the lower grade copy: Edited August 11, 2023 by scburdet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahsoka Tano Jedi Apprentice Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I have no idea....I'm gonna say 7.0 The pressing should improve it ......I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahsoka Tano Jedi Apprentice Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I thought there was some kind of crease along the spine on the back....towards the bottom......and across from it on the left side of the back...............................I really don't know what I'm doing ........I really don't understand this.........Did you think this was gonna come back a 9.2 ?

The "rarer" something is to CGC, the easier they grade it, it seems. Just based on the Black Lightning Comic Reader 138 I had graded, I expected over an 8.0 b/c that's what it came back as. I believe you're eyes are correctly picking up on something that looks like a crease, but is in fact part of the printing. I had a lot of questions about the back cover looking at as many copies as I could to find one worthy of sign & grade. I saw enough that had that pattern near the spine to conclude it's "supposed" to be like that. Edited August 13, 2023 by scburdet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great insight ...thanks for your time and explanation. scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
