Corvonie Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 (edited) Hi all, Wondering if this FF 57 would grade with a clean and press. Love this cover and this whole story arc! Edited November 18, 2023 by Corvonie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 It certainly is a handsome copy but when you put a grade aspiration in your description it makes it hard to come to a grade without being influenced by it. Corvonie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah! Good call, I’ll remove that from the post. LowGradeBronze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 8.0ish. Depending on how hard the foxing/tanning gets hammered. Corvonie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBTOTHEC Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 That is a nice example of a 7.0 IMHO... It presents very nice though, 7.5 wouldn't surprise me. I do not have enough experience to guess what it could be? Corvonie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, the back cover is super clean and I feel like I’ve seen 8.0s that look like this but not many. I feel like 7.5 is more likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always hard to tell how they’ll view that on an otherwise sharp book. Edited November 19, 2023 by Corvonie scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Teacher Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Is that tanning, a sun shadow, or a stain in the white area of "MARVEL COMICS GROUP"? I see a 6.5 - 7.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
