  1. Sorry -- the back cover is too blurry. The front looks pretty nice. There seems to be a pressable crease. Would be nice to have a few more photos.
  2. Beautiful book!! I guess if I were in a cr@ppy mood I’d say this is a 7.0. The issues that I’m drawn to are the back cover; foxing, color rub, and general grime That said, I’d say 8.0 after P&C
  3. This is a "run-with-scissors" moment. You might get a 7.5... but you might (probably) not. Not worth the risk in my opinion.
  4. That’s fair feedback from @scburdet and @Lninefingers Please see attached a pic of the top edge of book. I think stains are from printing process.
  5. Please. please, please get this book pressed and cleaned. It will stun you. I think your lower corner is a color break crease, but not by much. It will flatten out nicely. The back cover can be cleaned up a lot -- I am not sure if the marking the "Town" field on the form is a stain or dirt. I think a good cleaning with a couple of presses could bring this to a 7.5 (or higher) -- I am the optimist!
  6. This is pre pressed and cleaned. Happy to share after pics and then grade as well. Thanks in Advance!
  7. Obviously this is not pressed and cleaned.... I am assuming that you will be getting it p&c'ed. Front cover; bottom right corner should press out. I say "should" because sometimes after pressing the fold reveals a crease -- just saying. Front cover, top left corner might be a tear, not sure what that is... Back cover, usual spine ticks -- pressing will mitigate those, but not eliminate any color breaks. I think you would have a 9.4... hope that helps.
  8. I guess I would flip the question... what is the minimum grade that you need in order to buy? and how much? The tear is a bummer. I am think 9.0 / 9.2 with a 9.0 lean. Looking on eBay under "star wars heir to the empire 1 cgc" and then going to the <Advanced> filter clicking on the <Sold> and <Completed Listing> options you kind of get a range. If you can get the book for $20-$50 (or less), then sure. I guess the last question is... "Do you WANT the book OR do you WANT TO SELL the book" I know this is probably obvious to this board.... it's just that I have this internal conversation with myself several times a week... including "if I buy this book at this price would my wife stab me..." GoodLuck!
  9. The crease is a bummer... super book. Looks like it has been pressed already. I am curious about the indentation at the bottom. These seems like a 7.5. I would have gone higher but that crease is front and back...
  10. Beautiful book -- wow. I am in the 6.0-6.5 range. Depends on how they view the "R" on front cover.
  11. I think you are between an 8.5 and a 9.0. The back cover corner is the key. IMHO.
