PGM another Iron Man #3 1 1

[FSQIV]

If you're interested in comparing/contrasting another copy close in condition to the one recently submitted. I'd be curious to read your thoughts. The lower right back cover creasing makes me wonder if this would be a pressing candidate. Thank you.

blunted lower left corner with some fraying/color loss at lower edge, minor staple tears with multiple color breaking stress lines, cover off center/minor spine roll, 

IMO...FN/VF 7.0 to VF- 7.5

 

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.

8.0/8.5 The slight fraying is what I see. Looks like CGC isn't quite as hard on this as other defects, so it might slide in just under NM

Thanks for taking a look. My bias and powers of rationalization get this into the 9s easily

8.5       could it get a 9.0   ....wouldn't surprise me................but then ...what do I know.
