Well, the top edge of the cover has some minor wear, the bottom left corner is banged up, and the bottom edge of the back looks to have roughly 1/4" bent up. That is the worst of the damage. There also looks like a small patch of wear on the left side of the back cover, opposite the brown-haired kid's face. All told, I would give this book a 6.0-6.5 mostly due to the back bottom edge. It might look better in hand but from the scan it looks bad.

My scanner which is a C4180 doesn't seem to scan all that great here are some pics with my camera, the left side of my scanned comics seem to blur out and the scans just are not that great, even though i just bought this, i think i need to get one that does a little better job...Here is a pic from my camera....

Huh, it looks like my eyes were playing tricks on me. That area next to the kid's head looks pretty much like the rest of the white portions of the back cover. I think the overall quality of the page is just not so hot. Also, from the picture of the top half of the cover, it looks like the book is warped slightly. Is that just from what the comic is lying on? It looked flat in the scanned image, of course, which is why scanned images can be misleading.

 

If you could get a picture of the bottom edge of the back cover, that would be helpful. That is the sticking point with me in terms of grade.

I figured it was about a 6.5 myself but wasn't sure with the different issues going on....

[Mr. Spider-Woman]

Huh, that is really strange how the bend along the bottom is so straight -- and so yellow. Is it overhang? In any case, I would say it keeps the book in line with my original estimate of 6.0-6.5.

Okay i have two different scanner pics, let me know you guys think the best one is or scrap em both and go for something else, grin...
