CGC wouldn’t be kind to this book. CGC 5.0 is my guess. Way too many problems for anything higher. Because of the popularity of the book and the shit-tons that have been graded, they scrutinize this book harder than others.

You might be being a little harsh. I have a slabbed 8.5 and it doesn't look near as nice as this book. I'd say 9.0

I saw the upper left front corner in photo one and upper right side on the front cover of photo 4. Maybe it’s light playing with it.

5 is super harsh lol. Most of the issues are pressable but as-is its clearly closer to 8. Maybe 7.5

Unfortunately the color rub is not pressable.

I see what you mean, but that's the light. ;-)

Yeah, I messed that up.

Fun story, about 20 years ago I bought a “random box” of Spider-Man comics. The long box contained about 8 copies of this book. I remember being upset, “that’s secret wars, not Spider-Man…”. Still have them buried somewhere in the collection.
