4.0. This one should say something on the indicia about it being a reprint or something. The blank UPC is a Whitman indicator

  I wondered about that white box....didn't know what it meant.......On the bottom of the splash page it says..... Volume 1 No. 94 January 1979 Issue......I don't see 2nd print listed anywhere in the book so I'm assuming this is a first print ?

9.2

Meant to say creasing in upper left area....on front.......Crease coming down towards purple beasts left hand.

     Several color breaking stress lines along front spine a couple rather large ones .and some stress lines on the back spine also.......We have some creasing in the upper right area....a light crease under the purple beast....The back has creasing in the upper right area.....There is a lot going on here.

 P.S.   Thanks for all thoughts and grades.

        We have some stress lines on the front and back spine.....On the back.... top left corner we have a crease and another one in the bottom right corner . If you follow the black line to Rack & pinion steering....to the right of it is a slight mark ...it is smooth to touch but  don't know what it is..... It doesn't go thru the back cover....Maybe a slight substance ....

P.S,  ..Thanks for all grades and opinions.

The crease on the back bottom left corner only involves the back cover ....no internal pages.

    We have a few stress lines on front spine and on the back.....On the back bottom left corner we have a crease.

  About the issue on the top middle of the back........   So I researched this and I believe it is an Indent.....Which by itself if it is extreme enough could lower a grade to 7.0 by itself.......then factor in other issues to come up with a final grade. Not sure where to grade this ?

  I'd like to think it could and these days probably grades a little higher..............

..8.5

   I don't know what I was thinking .....you were quite specific.......

  I'm probably wrong but I'm guessing this book was somewhat recently slabbed.......If it was slabbed 5 or 10 years ago or it would have got a 3.0 or 3.5   but it seems to me CGC has  eased the grading and now it comes back a 4.5   There has never been a better time to slab your books then right now but what the heck do I know.

  Here's a shot of the corner............

What is going on with the top right corner?, Is it just blunted or is there a piece missing? You did not post a pic of the top right corner as you did with the other corners.

   The picture did not come out...it was all blurred..........The back top right corner has no piece missing ...maybe just a slight bump.....................Thank You for looking........

    So there is a color breaking crease going thru Thoth Amon's face...Some light creasing top right corner area...color breaking stress lines along the spine front and back...On the Back light creasing top left corner area.

P.S.  Thanks for all thoughts and grades.

The two creases can be seen above Zula and Belit drawn swords.

     A few stress lines along the spine.....a couple of light creases which you really can't see without moving light.......On the back a small crease in the top left corner ...some edge wear along the top edge.

P.S.   Thanks for all grades and thoughts.

  The final result does not surprise me......I missed this but look forward to participating sometime in the future.

  Maybe it's just a small crease

  You can't see the readers crease without moving light. It's about 2 or 3 inches or so..

     Looks like a slight small readers crease in the middle area on the front spine....some stress lines along the spine....On the back there is that puncture on the top edge area......it doesn't break paper but does show up thru about half of the book with the second half being just a very slight bump.    As you page thru the book from the back going forward the bump becomes smaller and smaller until you really can't see it anymore but leaves a small trace towards the end.  Don't see any remnants of it on the front cover.

    Some stress lines along the spine....bottom right corner has some wear or what not....The back on the bottom edge has a dust shadow ?  I'm not sure what that is.

P.S.  Thanks for all grades and thoughts. 

    We have 3 big creases on the front cover....# 1   Looks like a readers crease going down along the spine and it appears to show on the back also....# 2  A color breaking crease running down thru the first N in Conan.   # 3  another one sliding somewhat sideways thru the 2nd N in Conan. On the back bottom edge there is wear and a small tear among other things.

P.S.  Thanks for all grades and thoughts.
