Thanks!!

Hmm... I'm having a time with this one as I think it's a fabulous looking book!

 

Closer examination reveals the creasing at the top and the fading at the bottom. Top staple is a little worn as well. At first glance I immediately thought "Wow, that's a solid 8.0" but now I'm leaning more towards the 7.0-7.5 range. My gut tells me 7.0 but it's a great presentable copy with eye-appeal that makes me want to give it a 7.5

[Owls Head]

i don't see it quite as bad (key word: See It!!)

 

i'll go with 8.5

[Shadow]

I lean closer to the 8.5 range.

[joeypost]

8.0

[Ze-man]

Those CBC's on the top edge are a bummer(that is a crease and not a production error?) That top staple really does look a mess.

 

Back cover presents nicely.

 

So I would say 7.5 is safe. A full grade higher if top edge is not a crease

 

It is otherwise a very nice looking book.

The creasing looks like a printer crease, so i don't take it in account.

My first guess was 9.0, but i'll say a safe 8.5.

[mar-vell]

8.5/9.0

[The Troll King]

Wow, grades are all over the place on this one!

[osborn_fr]

Ok, after another look at the book, on another screen, i see nothing wrong that could keep it below 9.0/9.2.

i had it at borderline 9.0- looks like there might be some slight color loss in BRFC

[Owls Head]

Wow... who is holding the magic envelope... and the real grade is....

 

[Dad&Son-migration]

I think I might have to send this one with my next batch just to get the grade. I was thinking along the lines of 8.5 myself.... it lays completely flat and firm in hand but does have that darn top staple issue and the crease at the top which appears as a printer's crease to me.

[sterlingcomics]

8.5 from me.I'd personally be happy calling it a 8.8.

[50 Cent #II (1st)]

8.0-8.5

[divad]

The top staple is problematic (bent and pulled, with wear at the tines). There is a very light horizontal crease along the TEFC and light fading / wear to the LRFC. The scans are small too.

 

A nice looking copy, but technically, no more than a 7.5

[Khumbu]

first glance 7.5 second look 8.0 maybe a little better

Dad&Son if you decide to send this one... please let us know the grade in the end...

 

thanks much -

Why? No offense, but the expense of slabbing exceeds the value of the book.

 

I'd leave it in a mylar - these are all pre-hero reprints, right? Great reads all!
