Corvonie Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Here’s my first reformed post. This book has neither been cleaned or pressed, nor is it on its way to CGC already 😅. I have a lot of confidence in the stacking curve on the back and anything non color breaking on the front coming out, but we’ve got some general spine wear all along the spine as well as that one more significant area of wear under the word balloon to the left of mole man. The color is gorgeous as are the interiors but I’m not gonna be fooled again! What does the community think? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Wanna say 8.0 pressed, obviously a bit lower now. Frequently surprised when a book like this comes out higher than I expect. Corvonie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s something interesting - I found this copy on eBay with the exact same defect which is now making me think I should take a second look to make sure that “scuffing” isn’t part of the artwork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 always possible that it's a manufacturing defect. Hard to know unless there are a lot of copies for comparison. Especially older books like this that can have a lot of accumulated damage from mishandling. Corvonie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheComicsPreacher Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 7.5 now; 8.5 with a press. Unless you finally decide to list these things - in which case 4.0 at best if I’m paying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
