Hi everyone! New to the forum. After numerous years of being out of the comic book game, I've found myself sucked back into my childhood hobby. Long story short, I was going through my old collection and would like to get an answer to a burning question I've had for decades. How bad does the black check mark on my Amazing Spider-man #6 affect the grade/value?

(The dark areas on the back cover on the left are actually shadows, and there is a 1/4-1/2 inch rip in the back cover that might not be evident in the picture.)

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Thanks for the response. Yeah, I figured the writing would mark it down fairly significantly. But, as you pointed out, it's still an Amazing Spiderman #6! Thankfully my #4 doesn't have any such writing... :-)

Good idea on the scanner. I'll look into getting one.
