tmac100 Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Hi All, thanks for looking. When providing a grade, it would be great if you could provide some details on why you settled on that grade. It would be a huge help in learning what to look out for. thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) Around 9.2. Pressing might make the corners appear more square. Not much to pick on that's visible in the photos. Some light spine stress lines, corners are slightly dinged & very light wear elsewhere. Ink from the inner ad starting to show through the back cover. Not a huge deal, but that would likely preclude consideration of 9.8 and maybe 9.6. I always recommend picking up the CGC book if you want insight into what CGC thinks compared to board members who might weight defects differently. There are a few like stains that CGC will really hammer and others like spine tics that appear to get a lighter touch. https://www.cgccomics.com/news/article/10586/cgc-guide-grading-comics-nelson/ Edited November 19, 2023 by scburdet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 8.5 or 9.0 based on lack of creases bends and staples tears. Absence of soiling and tanning too. Very clean bright copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
