By showing only the front covers, its not possible to pick a higher grade copy. It would of been worthwhile if you had scans of the back covers also. Just saying.

Here's another. It's a good one. Included the backs this time. These are CGC but after this I'll use CBCS books going forward...

Top is a 3 bottom is a 4, maybe a 4.5 Much rather own the bottom one.

From what I hear, bottoms are usually prettier than tops. I dont like either. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

If the books are already graded, are you looking for "grading help", or "which has more eye appeal" help?

@Bluespeyer

I would say the bottom one is the higher grade.

Top has Cream(maybe even Tan - hard to tell) to Off-White pages, has some pieces missing along the spine, and some decent staple stress.

Bottom has Off-White pages, even with the spine roll seems to present better.

I'm going with the top book. I think it's structuraly tighter as well.

The bottom one has tape residue on it and stresses at the top staple. The top one is better centered and looks pancake style.

Lol. Sorry about the delay. Just woke up from my nap.

Final tally: 6 votes top, 5 votes bottom.

Nice call on the pages once again comic_book_man.

@Bluespeyer
Yeeessssssss!
2/2 Page Quality
1/2 Cover Appeal

Personally I think this is my favorite thread. It's fun to get everyone involved and its actually beneficial to the community to see before and after WHY a comic is the grade that it is. Interior page quality reigned supreme in both of these situations.

Kudos!!! I'll be on the lookout for more of these type of posts.

@comic_book_man
I think you're right, page quality was possibly the difference. I do think the bottom has better overall eye appeal, despite the edge shadow and what appears to be a pencil (ink?) mark top left. The spine is cleaner.

Will do another pair soon. In the meantime feel free to post your own. Wouldn't mind trying my hand at the game!
