PGM Fantastic Four #36

[popnecker]

Thanks in advance for any grade opinions for this copy of Fantastic Four #36 -

[Mr. Zipper]

Is that a tear on the bottom back corner?

[Point Five]

I'd say a nice 7.0, but take a close look at the spine. Looks like there might be a dot or two of color touch there.

No, no tear on the lower left hand corner. It's a light fold. Thanks for asking.

I couldn't go that high... looks like a book length reading crease.

 

5.5/6.0

Can you tell me which part of the spine you're referring? Do you mean along the black border on the front cover? I'll check it out and let you know. There is the light crease running along the spine about 1/8" into the cover.

[Point Five]

I thought the crease was pretty light...you may be right though.

I can't say for sure from the scan, but yes, along the black spine border. The way the black line bulges out a bit right where the spine cracks are looks a bit suspicious to me...

 

[popnecker]

Wow, I think you might be right. Here are some close-ups of the area you mention -

[Mr. Zipper]

CT no doubt.

 

Very weird... I saw the bumps and thought it was just a printing inconsistancy. Sometimes you will see a bit of inkbleed to the left of the black line.

 

Who the heck would CT that black line and leave all the other creases? Makes no sense.

[popnecker]

I totally agree with you Zipper68, what reason would there be to such small touch-up. I bought this online from bedrockcity a couple years ago and never even noticed those tiny touch ups. So this copy would most likely recieve a "restored" grade?

[Shadow]

Great observation, Point 5. Very astute.

[qualitycomix]

5.0 to 5.5 leaning towards 5.5. Good catch on the ct.

7.0
