New arrivals from ComicLink. The Swamp Thing is gorgeous. For the life of me, I can't figure why it scored a 7.0. Will probably crack and press before resubmitting.    |

| @Doc_Cop I have a hard time believing a white pages book is a 7.0 usually that means they were treated very well. Maybe spine ticks or something. But I have an 8.0 Spider-Man 101 with a lot of spine ticks and I can’t see anything on yours. Maybe the graded had terrible hand writing and wrote what looked like a 7 by accident and no one wanted to call out the other grader lol. | ||

| I counted only one color breaking spine tick and 7 press able non-color breaking minor dings on back cover. Otherwise book is clean. This will be a good crack and press project. | ||

| @Doc_Cop - That 7.0 Swamp Thing does look too nice for that grade. My guess is there is some staining or a tear to an interior page. Book grades get hammered for stains. At the very least, you could probably get a checkmark from CBCS. | ||

| A press will bring it way up. I will let you know what I find out after cracking. Thanks. | ||

It's been nearly 20 days since I last posted a scan of a new pickup, and I just couldn't take it any longer. This came in today's mail - another Silver Age ASM to add to my runs. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Arak Don't know if people were pressing back then. don't know when it became a thing. since it would cost so much for shipping pressing and re-grading, I don't know that there is enough up-side to make it worth the money and trouble (months and months of waiting). |
