PGM Nintendo Power #6 1 1

[rosentj]

Hello,

Recently found my nintendo powers from childhood and thought it would be cool to have some of my favorite covers graded and slabbed.  I have zero experience in comic or magazine grading.  I was hoping someone could give a ballpark of what this might be graded.  I've already submitted to be pressed and graded.  The contents are fully intact according to a website about all the inverts and stuff that is supposed to be in it..  Appreciate the help in advance.

Welcome To The Boards!!!

Blunted corners with small color breaking creases/color loss at the lower corners, left upper edge dented/creased, minor spine stress with a few color breaking spine ticks, minor color rub on rear cover.

I disregarded the waviness of the book since you said you were getting it pressed.

IMO...FN/VF 7.0

 

8.0 VERY FINE (VF):  Back to Top
An excellent copy with outstanding eye appeal. A limited accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Cover is relatively flat with minimal surface wear beginning to show, possibly including some minute wear at corners. Inks are generally bright with moderate to high reflectivity. An unnoticeable 1/4" crease is acceptable if color is not broken. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. Minor foxing. Spine is almost completely flat with a possible minor color break. Staples may show some discoloration. Very slight staple tears and a few almost insignificant stress lines may be present. Paper is cream to tan and supple. Centerfold is mostly secure. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present.

7.5 VERY FINE- (VF-):  Back to Top
Fits the criteria for Very Fine but with an additional defect or small accumulation of defects that detracts from the book's appearance by a perceptible amount.

7.0 FINE/VERY FINE (FN/VF):  Back to Top
An above-average copy that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with outstanding eye appeal. A small accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor cover wear beginning to show, possibly including minor creases. Corners may be blunted. Inks are generally bright with a moderate reduction in reflectivity. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. Minor foxing. The slightest spine roll may be present, as well as a possible moderate color break. Staples may show some discoloration. Slight staple tears and a small accumulation of light stress lines may be present. Slight rust migration. Paper is cream to tan. Centerfold is mostly secure. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present.

I agree this looks like a 7.5. Sometimes the magazines come in higher than expected, so I think 8s could be in the discussion.
