| staining and water damage - but no big chunks missing. It is ugly for its grade. | ||

Looks like a solid 2.0 (solid, meaning "not falling to pieces." |

| I think the worst part of the whole book is the 110$ price tag.... someone got hooped or is about to get hooped. | ||

| As far as a 2.0 grade is concerned, that certainly looks like a run of the mill 2.0, in a CBCS or CGC slab. The flow of the cover art is not partially obscured by stains and heavy folding/creasing. Relatively bright cover inks...and there are no large chunks off the corners....which is one of any possible defects that I dislike the most. I'd argue that for a 2.0, the overall eye appeal is considerably higher than numerous other slabbed CBCS and CGC 2.0's. If you look at the BC, the whiteness of the BC, along with the fanned pages, that tells you a lot about the integrity of the paper.IOW, the outer edges of interior pages is where oxidation usually is at its' worse. To explain, you can see that the BC has no indications of subpar paper qquality i.e. it looks pretty damn close to white.The BC is remarkably off-white/white. I'd rather buy a SA book in a 2.0 slab with a PQ designation of OW/WHITE psges, with no large pieces out of the FC...than a lot of other CBCS or CGC books that are in 2.0 slabs. |

| @Kanaloa, touche!! Of course, the book does look like it was flushed down the toilet. But with that said, can anyone post a pic of a worse 2.0? Let's see a better (er, worse?) candidate. |

I definitely am a novice but that looks like a typical 2.0 to me. It's funny since I immediately went looking through my low grade books since most of my old books are low grade. I think they are about the same. spine stress, spine split & wear breaks color bends to cover go through book stains, tears & few large creases to cover 1" & 1/2" piece missing back cover & many pages  cover detached 1st wrap & centerfold detached at bottom staple spine stress, spine split, & wear breaks color 2" tear & 5" piece missing front cover tears, chips & creases along the edges of cover 1" piece missing bottom right corner back cover  2.25" piece missing top spine front to back cover spine wear & stress, edge & corner wear breaks color, many creases to cover, some breaks color 1.75" stain top right corner front cover, small stain top edge front cover & 1.5" stain top left corner back cover |

| @enaz13, I actually like your ASM 14. To me, there's still some appeal to that book. The ST, on the contrary, completely throws me off. @Kanaloa, possibly a toaster oven. |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

I don't know if it is the worst 2.0 but my 1.5 presents a hell of a lot better: |

| @drchaos coz you have an incomplete book. Notes say a coupon is missing, that book could look like a 9.8 and stil garner a fair/gd 1.5 @jrs She's an ugly one for sure, but still doesnt deserve to be dropped into Fair! |

Quote:Originally Posted by I_AM_IRON_MAN You can look up the notes for freehere and the grading guidelines here Green? CGC green label is a fake grade, a "what could have been" grade. I could rant all day about the green label lol. CBCS doesnt do that, they only give the actual grade. 1.5 is legit for a missing coupon, or you could send that book to cgc for a fake 5.0 green lol |

| @shrewbeer Yeah but personally I would never buy a green label and if I had something graded that came back with a green, I's pitch it basically. How are you supposed to tell a coupon is missing? That is rather misleading. All it says is tape on the label. |

Quote:Originally Posted by I_AM_IRON_MAN Just like any defect inside a book, you need to either open it or look up the notes. It would be misleading on a 5.0 qualified, but on a book graded "fair/gd 1.5", a missing coupon is perfectly normal and acceptable for that grade. |

| @shrewbeer Yes, however, if you are buying a second hand slab (I realise the free notes essentially voids my problem, how are you to know? You can't open the book. I would rather pay up for a nicer 3.0, then have a caca 1.5 missing coupons... |
