  1. I'll take the value of an exceptional presenting lower grade copy over an over-valued slightly higher grade copy of the same book any day
  2. A. Grade; Presentation in grade is the biggest factor of all B. Page color; OW-W for anything Silver+ /// Cream/OW Golden age is AoK /// Slightly Brittle ok if truly rare C. Wrap; very important...symmetry is important...dislike fanning D. Pedigree; somewhat important E. Holder (old, oldest, new, custom); I'm a new holder wh0re...no custom...puke F. Previous pressing; good either way G. Holder condition; i'll reholder often if case bothers me Are there other factors you consider? smell...the golden agier the better Are any of the factors deal breakers for you? a spine that looks like it went though the shredder Order of importance based on your criteria: A C B D F G E
