9.4 - Nice Canadian Price Variant

I think there's a dust/sun shadow on the BC top/left edges. Maybe some pressable bends. 8.0/8.5 max.

8.5

The grade is in: 8.0 (another harsh one).

This one in particular seems way harsh of a grade. The spine looks pretty clean to me — I’ve seen books ticked to Hell grade much higher. I don’t see the staining either.

Given that even a barely noticeable stain, or one on the back cover can lower a grade below 8.0, I'd call this a win. I see things that could be stains on the cover, but I would not bet on picking them one from photos. Once they're in the slab it's harder still. Magnifier plus a raking light might show something small on the raw book.

They seemed to be extra rough on my Hama/Kubert books. I’ll post the grade on my Marvel Premiere shortly.

Looks better.

Thanks, I know I’m biased, but I totally agree. I thought it was a 9.0 with a little upside myself. 🤷🏻‍♂️
