Test Your Online Grading Skills - Hulk 1 Newsstand Red Hulk - Sent to CBCS16657

Collector Eclipse9665 private msg quote post Address this user
I sent this book in to get graded by CBCS. What grade do you think it will get based on these images? There is no damage on the inside as far as I can see. I update this thread when I eventually get my books back.

Side note, are there any newsstands graded by CBCS? If I am using the population report correctly it seems to say there are not.

Did you get it pressed or not? I'm still trying to get my "grading legs" myself by to me this looks like it's 8.5-ish unpressed, 9.0 to 9.2 pressed (don't murder me forum friends if I'm way off).

The things I notice is that there is a bindery tear at the top of the spine, which I'd assume is a production defect and may not deduct (doesn't look blunted). Then I spot 7 color-breaking spine tics on the front cover and a crease on Phineas' nose, the top of the "O" in HOW, possible crease /dent in Ferb's nose and an indentation in Candace's hair. Possibly some color loss near the lower right spine on the rear?

9.0 for the color breaking spine ticks and small indentations on the back cover.

It has not been pressed yet, CBCS will be taking care of that. As for the potential color loss on the lower right spine on the rear, I believe that was the lighting (oops).

I did not notice the bindery tear you are referring to, but I unfortunately cannot check due to it being at CBCS already. Thank you for your in depth analysis!

I agree. 9.0 pressed might get 9.2

So I'm tryin to learn too, b4 i look at other grades, i say 9.2 without press 9.4 with. i saw at least 6 spine tics that seem to break color. those alone knock it down to under 9.6(base on what i've learn or understand from u guys).So why a 9.0 or lower what am i missing??

SpongeBob Comics #1 sells for $991! Joosh private msg quote post Address this user
CBCS does not currently recognize newsstand editions published year 2000+ So the label (and population report) will not show any.
I’ve asked @sborok to note all newsstand editions, but it’s ben a few years now.
I actually tried CGC with a handful of my 2013 Marvel newsstand editions and found them to be frustratingly inconsistent in newsstand recognition.

@Joosh

Ok thanks for letting me know! That is a bummer that it is not recognized on the label, but I guess when selling its always possible to point out that it is a newsstand. Hopefully that will change eventually.
