8.0 to 8.5. The mis-wrap I don’t think is gonna be a factor. Very nice book. 

4.5 

Just curious. I wonder if whatever caused the slight discoloration maybe dried the paper a little more and made it crack. Not a big deal I just over analyze

What are the two dark areas along the spine on the front cover?  Back cover outside edge, is that a piece of tape? Centerfold is well attached? Inquiring minds want to know.

I mentioned the tape that was apparent on the back .. all relevant flaws are shown. As far as the dark spots along the spine … I have no idea. I’m guessing there may have been tape there a while back ( to protect the staples?) that got old and dropped off. There is no residue I can see or feel and its it’s not on the back.. treat it as if it was a stain. 

The white discolorations are right where the spine stress marks are.

Two brothers, JP and MP fighting over ownership of this book? I like the back cover markings.

Probably a 4.5 but the front is great and I'd hope for a CGC 5.0.

Thanks for sharing.

That is funny. Totally makes sense. I always thought why would someone do their initials like that over and over. Didn’t put 2 and 2 together.. thanks for the insight 

Not seeing much …. Looks brand new 

Since grading is off the table… I like the date stamp 

4.0 

9.0

6.0 

5.5 

Looks like 8.0 from what’s observable 

9.0 I was expecting to see Subby 

5.5 as well 

8.5 light stain 

I thought 6.0 as well 

6.0 tailor made C&P candidate 

5.5 

6.0 for me. Solid 

8.5

9.2 and up .. grendelbo stole my line  I must have too much time on my hands 

Thoughts on this appreciated- no other surprises on the inside. Tape doesn’t appear to have any purpose 

5.0 

6.5. A real beauty. Let me guess. You’re gonna trade for some horror books?
