  1. I’ve been away a bit - have some house stuff to take care of. I wanted to weigh in on this tho. I think for me the paper quality appeared to be low…. That’s what stood out to me at first. … I don’t think the stamp had much impact on this. It’s a decent copy that presents well. About the nicest 2.5 you will see. You win some and you lose some is how I look at it.
  2. I’m not seeing anything significant 9.0
  3. 3.5 to 4.0 as is. Don’t expect too much ..it’s gonna look a little nicer but it’s limited
  4. 6.5 (could be way off) spine has what looks like moisture. Don’t know what to make of it actually. Maybe just dirt.
  5. 4.0 I agree it’s beautifully drawn cover.. attacking a warship in a dingy at sunrise with handguns.. talk about guts
  6. 8.0 to 8.5 depends as you said on that mark.. looks like some of the color is gone like maybe something spilled or someone tried to erase it or scrape it off. Unknown but the rest of the book is very solid.
  7. Little hard to tell from these pics. Not a lot of detail. I will approximate 7.5 could be a little better tho
  8. Just grade “as is” the pressing is a wild card. You never know how effective it will be. I’ve had books pressed from css and although it was improved, not everything comes out perfect. So sometimes I think you will be amazed and sometimes you will be disappointed. Manage expectations. There are a lot of factors.
  9. 7.5 I can see a 8.0 tho it’s close
  10. Good job. I was deciding if it could be a 6.0 but I think 5.5 is the right call
  11. 1.0 or 2.0 need more pics to be more precise - disagree you should definitely send that FF in for grading. Protect it and get a definitive grade at the least. If you are gonna sell it have a much easier time on a very pricey book buyers will be more confident shelling out that kind of cash.
  12. Based on just one photo a ballpark estimate for me would be 6.0. You mentioned you didn’t have a back cover pic, and that’s fine in this case but understand the back cover often tells the story of the quality and wear of the book in grading.
  13. I’m at 7.0 as is. Possible bump with a C&P but not much wrong
