  1. 2.5 on the high end. The tape is a killer but the interior pages look nice
  2. Doesn’t seem to be water damage. My guess is the previous owner had it stored improperly...other things resting on top of it and on an uneven surface
  3. Just starting to rebuild after selling my collection a couple of years ago due to health issues. So many books I need to replace jumping in feet first. Lucky to have found some great deals so far
  4. 30 and 43 are definitely on my want list...just waiting on the right ones for me
  5. As it stands, I agree with 8.5 after a press, possible 9.2 depending on how well the spine ticks flatten out. Back cover looks like some yellowing too
  6. Thanks. I have alot of time in my hands to shop around so I've been able to find some good ones
  7. Some other goodies that arrived today including my biggest purchase for the year
  8. I feel the same way. Mine came a couple of days ago in one of thise slabs you can disassemble
  9. Back shows more evident flaws and no expectations of miracles but a clean and press could definitely improve the overall look of the book.
  10. Had sold my raw copy a couple of years ago but happy with my slabbed copy that arrived today. I am (almost) whole again
  11. Have seen 5.0s that look worse, especially on the spine but other defects and imperfections...
  12. On a brighter note, these all arrived safely today and the low grade (for now) Conan #2 was a 55 cent win on eBay
  13. I filled one out too and called askusps.com to file numerous complaints including a falsified tracking update where the carrier stated “package left with individual” when they never showed up that day. I was given a courtesy call to tell me an inspector would contact me soon. I imagine it’s even worse around the holidays.
  14. It probably wouldn’t make a difference with this insufficiently_thoughtful_person
  15. Welcome to the next exciting episode of "person_too_unaware_of_social_graces Postal Carrier" (delivered at 9:30 pm, mind you...gotta put in that overtime but god forbid you ring my doorbell)
  16. I place more of the blame on the carrier as he took the "please, do not bend" as a challenge to stuff it in my mailbox. I'd have gladly come to the door had he rang the bell but that was too much work for him
