Interested to see. Looks like a tear and staple bulges? on a mid to upper 9. Just guessing to play & learn... 7. Keep looking at that bottom left though didn't it notice at first.

The SIKTC book looks really nice. I would say based of the photos you could get a 9.8. The Other book though.... tears hit the grade hard and that is a big tear. I wouldn’t get it graded at all. It’s a reader copy in my book.

How do I know this? Because I've done it myself. lawguy1977 private msg quote post Address this user
Edge of Spiderverse 2: 7.0. The tear is the problem. It's a grade killer. Otherwise, other than that corner, the rest of the book looks good. But with the tear, I don't think it can get above 7.0.

SIKTC 1: I'd never tell anyone on here that their raw book is a 9.8. That being said, it definitely looks like a 9.8 candidate. I would absolutely have it pressed and graded.

I'm not a professional by any means, so I'm interested to see what the other fine folks on the forum think.

Good luck!

I take back the staple thing. ? And think you got a shot for a 9.8 on the other.

I love SIKTC, but it looks like a solid 9.6 to me. The little roughed up corners on top and bottom of the spine might hold you back from the 9.8. I'd still roll the dice and send it in.

Yeah I keep staring at it too. It's whats holding me back from just jumping in to get it graded.

If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8. xkonk private msg quote post Address this user
SITKC is still a couple hundred in 9.6, and the Land variant for Gwen is a huge seller at any grade (as far as gocollect tells me). I would send them both.

That tear on Gwen is a heartbreaker.

But definitely still worth getting slabbed if you're going to sell.
