I would say so. Only six graded higher by CGC. Nothing higher than a 9.4

"Good grade" as in an accurate grade; or as in "wowza... an 8.5 on this book"?

That is a seriously tough book in high grade. The color scheme makes it look dull to begin with and most copies look they spent alot of time rolled up in some kids back pocket.

Cover, 8 pages before the staples, 8 pages after, back cover. MrNotSoNice private msg quote post Address this user
That grade looks correct to me. Back is about perfect. Top left corner blunt plus spine ticks bring it to 8.5. Great book though!

From what I can observe from just front cover - yep - seems about right.
AND
It's not just a good grade. It's a fantastic grade

As much as I would love to own that book in that grade, I think my satisfaction at owning a 5.0 copy would run at 90%-95% the same. Maybe one day my finances will be at a point where I can justify paying a 10x premium for a 5% increase in personal satisfaction. One can only hope.

yeah. I think he had a 9.8 TMNT at one time. I bought my JIM 83 from him a few years ago.
