| Lets play that game again! Higher grade, but the issue is the bottom left corner - how would it affect the grade if the comic is 9.8 otherwise?  Thanks! |

| A blunted corner + two slight color breaks? I'd say 9.4 to be on the safe side. 9.6 is possible, though. | ||

| Looks like a 9.4 goes for about $800. But a 9.6? Over $1,300. Fingers crossed for a 9.6. | ||

| Front cover looks like a 9.6, but I think I see a few indents above the bottom staple on the rear cover, and another faint mark on the lower bottom corner. I pretty much agree with @conditionfreak, but I think it would get a 9.4. PS - I have had a few SA books get a 9.6 from CBCS, but none have ever come back with a 9.8. That's my grail, submitting a SA book to CBCS and getting a 9.8. |

| Looks like some horizontal bends above the bottom staple on the back cover. Maybe one along the top edge of the back cover near the spine too. A press would probably be beneficial. That soft left lower corner of the front cover will more than likely keep you at 9.4 or less no matter what. A safe bet is 9.0-9.2 even after press. | ||

| After taking another look, is that a bend or crease or stain at the bottom left corner of the back cover? If it is a crease or stain then you are at 8.5 at best. If it's just a bend that could be taken out by pressing, then 9.0-9.2 as stated above. | ||

| So are we supposed to ignore all the other flaws and only grade one flaw? The question itself is a fallacy because the book is not in 9.8 condition minus the questioned flaw. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by esaravo I've gotten a couple of 9.4s, I think one or two 9.6s, no 9.8s yet. I'd love to get a SA 9.8 but I am not holding my breathe! I've gotten a couple of 9.8 bronze books (later bronze, but still nice books). Highest GA so far is 9.0 and a bunch of 8.5s, which isn't too shabby for non-pedigree books. |

| @Foghorn_Sam Good eye! I didn't see those but I think most all of those issues would be pressed out and/or cleaned off by dry cleaning. | ||

| @DarthLego I mainly wanted to know what effect the flaws I pointed out would have on a grade. Its a beautiful book and those are the glaring flaws (yes, a bend in the paper here and there, and some bends on the cover, but I know what those flaws do to the book and that they can be mostly remedied by pressing). You can comment on the entire book as others have, but I was mostly asking to see how much the blunted corner and a color break would have, especially when they are so minor - i.e. not a color break running across a corner. | ||

| very hard to get a 9.6 or 8 with the edges. but who know, there is some slack given to silver age books. Higher grade, butI would say prob a 9.2/9.4 |

| The real question you have to ask is are you slabbing for future sale or just to confirm the grade. If so, i would have one of top dealers in your area grade it out. if its not a 9.2 or better there's no value in slabbing to confirm it. | ||
