Corvonie Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Hi, This one is probably going to remain raw, but I'm interested to get the group's impression of it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvelmaniac Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Nice Book!!! Blunted corners with color loss and some small color breaking creases, minor spine wear with some color breaking spine ticks, recessed staples, color breaking scratch/crease from spine to the "F" in Flash, indentation in cover by spine below the "F" in Flash, slight discoloration of front cover at top right, very slight spine roll, minor foxing/discoloration of rear cover along spine/top edge. Also, is that a reading crease on the rear cover spine area? IMO...FN 6.0 to FN+ 6.5 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. 6.5 FINE+ (FN+): Back to Top Fits the criteria for Fine but with an additional virtue or small accumulation of virtues that improves the book's appearance by a perceptible amount. 6.0 FINE (FN): Back to Top An above-average copy that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with no significant creasing or other serious defects. Some accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor cover wear apparent, with minor to moderate creases. Inks show a significant reduction in reflectivity. Blunted corners are more common, as is minor staining, soiling, discoloration, and/or foxing. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. A minor spine roll is allowed. There can also be a 1/4" spine split or severe color break. Staples may show minor discoloration. Minor staple tears and a few slight stress lines may be present, as well as minor rust migration. Paper is tan to brown and fairly supple with no signs of brittleness. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present. Centerfold may be loose.

TheComicsPreacher Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 No lower than 7.0 for sure. But also not an 8.0 by any stretch of the imagination. I’ve noticed people in these threads tend to grade HARSHER than CGC, which is interesting to me. Always better to be conservative methinks, but that’s a straight 7.0 all day imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
