Daredevil 158

Calling all Gurus... what would you put this book at? The book is tight, flat, and reflective.

 

Thanks in advance.

6.5 to 7.0 range

7.0 / 7.5

Surprised... I'm looking at an overstreet CB grading guide and it looks comparable to 9.0 examples in there. Lowside 8.5

[Point Five]

I think they're probably docking the book more for the back cover, which looks to have a wrinkle towards the top and a bit of spine wear. I'd guess 7.5/8.0 range myself.

[SuperBird]

i knocked it for the bunch of knicks on the right and top edge.

[MutantKeys]

8.0

[Carterofmars]

I would settle for 8.0 but me still thinks 8.5. I guess it's much better having book in hand.

While I don't necessarily agree with that grade, OS or not, remember that when people grade on here, they are using CGC books and grading as the criteria.

 

As in... what would CGC give it?

CGC supposedly modeled their standards (whatever those are) after the OS guide's. I have compared MANY slabbed books with the OSGG grades and they are basically the same.

I can easily show you differences between what the OSGG states, and what CGC does, both good and bad, but that point has been belabored enough already.

 

For example, OS takes centering, staple placement and overall production quality into account and lists these as DEFECTS, while CGC does not.

That is true, they do list production flaws as defects. I was talking more about the what handling damage is allowable in which grade, like this many spine stresses gets you this grade, this long a crease drops it to that grade, ect. Setting aside production flaws, they are actually very similar. Hell, the OSGG even has pictures of books in CGC slabs illustrating some of their grades.

VFish. The dirt on the back cover will not kill the grade but it is definitely fugly, and it shows that there are probably NBCCs there...which definitely kills the grade. The FC looks 9.0 but the bc brings it down.

Looks like a standard modern 8.0 to me. Nice enough book, but with enough issues to drop it into the VF range.

8.0
