JimmyT77 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I just recieved this book and see some things I like about it and some things I don't like about. It was purchased with it being a guaranteed 8.5 or better from CGC, but I'm not so sure. The first thing I thought was that it was a clipped comic because of the top edge, but realized there is more of the bottom edge showing that I've seen on other copies online. Definitely cut at the printer differently. Some cover 'scratches'. Some creases, some color breaking others not. The yellow of his pants just looks spotty... Small stain? on cloak above right shoulder. Corners aren't too bad with the exception of the one small spine tear on the bottom corner. Definitely dirty spine on back cover. And possibly more, just looking for some more opinions. I don't see an 8.5, I would think more like 6.5? Would a clean and press be beneficial? Thanks for the assistance.

comicginger1789 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I mean, if a seller guaranteed a grade, that means little...but I agree, seems more likely to be a 7.0 or so not 8.5. Your assessment of the book being miscut is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowGradeBronze Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I see a little too much softening at the corners for an 8.5 add in the slight abrasion/split at the spine and you have a nice looking 7.0 but not likely any higher. It's a great book though, with Kirby freed from Stan and really letting rip. The choice of Royer as inker was the master stroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyT77 Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 I emailed the seller and they are going to take it back. I was totally mislead on the condition of this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
