So at least 8 spine tics all color breaking and some pretty large, still qualifies for a 9.0? Trying to determine how spine tics affect grades. I thought they have a greater impact.

I have a different silver age 9.0 that looks similar, but I see your point.

I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie. flanders private msg quote post Address this user
@moodswing maybe, but I hate how that auction site doesn't list back covers and unless I'm an idiot, doesn't give buyers an option to watch items like every other site that exists.

@flanders

Agree. I also hate seeing the actual invoice after the auction. I always think I am getting a good deal then all those fees and taxes add up

Looks closer to an 8.0 to me with the spine stress, but I don't collect many SA comics. Subjectively speaking, gravity is a harsh mistress when it comes to ticks and grading comics from a scan.

I don't think it's an 8.5, but I don't have any of the books in hand so it is hard to make a solid judgement. I do think that the 8.5 appears to be in better shape than both 7.0 though. All that being said both companies make these "mistakes". I'm not apologizing for either company just stating facts.

Companies given a pass
Stress level over incompetence lowered
$25+ of my money gone for shoddy work
All is good

I don't see a problem at all
