Glad to see that you covered the color-breaking crease conundrum! I have a UF4, newsstand, with a small color-breaking crease in that same, lower-right corner, and I came to the same conclusion of an 8.0 grade based on Overstreet's grading standards. I plan to send it in to CGC in the near future and I'll be curious to see what grade they assign it. Thanks for the great video, and I'm looking forward to checking out your Whatnot show this Friday!
Nice to get others take on this and see different perspectives. Thanks for another great video man and to see you cracking those top ten lists!! Well earned man!
Actually just submitted to CGC for the first time ever for the Jason Fabok and Brad Anderson signing after following your tutorials on what to do! Your videos are always super helpful 👍
Why didn’t you press those posters before putting them up? 😂 Awesome video! Always helpful and I really enjoyed the history of comics in that book too!
If graders were giving a pop quiz on information from this book, how many people do you think would fail and what is the average from all the employees at cgc do you think. Wish they would have something like that and then have top performers work on the grails were .5 difference is big $$$
Repent and trust in Jesus. We all deserve Hell for our sins, such as lying lusting coveting and more. We can't save ourselves, but Jesus can save us. He died on the cross to save us for our sins and rose from the grave defeating death and Hell. You must put your faith in him only. He is the only way to Heaven. Repent and trust in Jesus. Romans 6:23 John 3:16❤😊❤
That CGC Guide is very flawed but it is an absolute must to own. Post-upload did you find any issues with any of the interiors? I feel the pain about realizing a tear or crease at the very end of an assessment. That can be brutal.
Loved the CGC grading system tutorial and how you decorated the new shop's wall. Tag your Whatnot stream already. Hope I buy or win something during the show?🤞😉
Fantastic video! I feel much better about my own, self-taught, unprofessional grading eye. I would have graded those books exactly at what you graded them. The only thing I wasn't aware of is that the cover indentation on that Todd McFarlane Batman comic won't come out with a press. I would have lost out on that one thinking that could be removed. Thank you so much for creating this awesome content!
Interesting to see you go over that Mark Jewelers Iron Fist and the Avengers Annual 10. The Iron Fist with the staining/tanning on the back, the corner dings and the spin ticks I can't see it getting more than a 7.5 and I think a 7.0 is more likely. And the 1st Rogue with the tear and small stains I don't see it getting more than an 8.0. I'm interested to see what they come back as. RE: the staple tear you have in a 9.8 - "known defect in that book" is the key phrase. If more than 25% of the print run has a specific defect then CGC will not hit you for it. So it's not about it being a staple tear in a 9.8, it's about it being a "known defect". If less than 25% but still a "known defect" they'll hit you for it, but not that much. Not sure if they put "known defect" somewhere in the book or not but it's not a contradiction. CGC has always applied that to grading.

Hey Bry I just got my copy of the official guide book. Thanks for the heads up on this book it's great bro. I'm still going to need you help bro in what to send out
Be very careful with humidity / pressing mark jewelers as they have a envelope with adhesive that the humidity will activate and the pages will stick together
Thank you. I buy raw books but some stores sell the main keys raw but claim a certain grade so I would like to know tips to look for when determining condition and a fair price for them. Will look into the book you shared. Thank you!
I still have my press new in the box. I wanted to achieve a skill. It really is. And it's going to be a lot of labor. It's really going to take some patience. I'll be ready soon.
So if you had lightly pressed The Boys could you maybe get a 9.9 or a 10? And the recessed staple could you release a bit of the pressure on it to make sure it wouldn’t pop through the cover, or would they catch that and call it restored?!?

Thank you for doing this video. Since I started getting back into buying comics again, I am glad you did a video so I can learn what to look out for. I am sure I just need to look at a lot of books to get a good feel.
Just bought an ASM #129 CGC 6.0 off Ebay. There is a lot of dirt and defects that could be pressed out. Gonna do a CPR for sure. Knowing how to grade is a great way to determine what CGC books make good CPR candidates.
Great video! I appreciate you going over these books and explaining the terms for the different kinds of damage and how it can change the grade. BTW, "indicia" wow you taught me a little something extra today!
Interesting video. At about the 19-minute mark you mention the most common modern book issue which is spine color rub. I was surprised when you said it could still get a 9.8, because I have gotten several books back from CGC which were 9.6. or 9.4 and the only issue was the spine rub. Because I did not get grader notes I can't be sure, but that is the only issue I could see.
That's great info! I feel like CGC definitely grades a book way more harshly if the book has reader damages such as a dog-eared corner and less likely to be as hard on books with general wear.
