tmac100 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 On the top right corner of the front cover, it is complete- there is just a small stain there that makes it look sort of chipped in the pictures. Let me know your thoughts. Trying to decide if it’s worth grading. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvelmaniac Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Blunted corners with small color breaking creases/color loss at top left corner, staining (?) at top edge by date stamp, moderate color loss at lower right of the word banner, cover/staples off center, slight spine roll, minor spine stress w a couple of color breaking spine ticks, minor to moderate discoloration/dust-sun shadow along spine/lower edge of rear cover. I do not know what CGC's stance is but I heard they are tough on stains/discoloration, etc. so the grade I assign may be high... With no major, serious defects, IMO...FN/VF 7.0 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lninefingers Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I think the stain holds it below a 7. I'll say 6.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
