    Not to rain on your parade, but there appears to be a brown splotch in the price box to the left of the issue #, particularly around the UK price. If that's a stain, it will get hammered. Could go as low as a 7.0

    Really need a full shot of both the front and the back to give a grade

    7.0/7.5, I lean to the lower

    5.5 give or take

    what's the source of the brown areas on the back cover? Ad on the other side of the paper or something else. I'm at 7.5/8.0 based on my best guess of the back cover discoloration

    I'm going with 8.0 b/c it looks like the paper is darkening a bit. I feel like they're dinging this a little harder than one might want.

    might press to a 9.0. Other copies of this poster in this forum came back higher than I thought they would, so taking that into account.

    The small pieces out on the front look like gripper holes. A bit of a wild card since that would be manufacturing. I don't know that this book is notorious like some others for having very visible gripper holes. You might get a 9.0 with gripper holes, but I would look for a better copy if you wanted to slab a book like this.

    9.0/9.2 pressed
  14. scburdet
    Maybe 7.5 as-is. A grade or so if it cleaned/pressed well. Awful lot of imperfections on the back

    Do yo really mean 8 days from now? (not that the extra time will help me)

    Grading 10 GA books in a row is scarier than any haunted house or horror movie out there. We need a side contest where we guess what our cumulative score on the round will be. I took my notes, wrote down my grade range and then picked the lower end grade for every book. This means I will score a 10 b/c I should have gone with my higher guess, which was still a grade too harsh.

    6.0, maybe 6.5 with very successful cleaning & luck. Pictures have a lot of shadows, so it's hard to get a lot of detail

    c/p for 8.0/8.5. A few unfortunate little defects as it's otherwise super sharp, especially with all the black areas that look solid.

    5.5

    tough one. maybe some microtears or edgewear along the top. Some light soiling in the white, maybe removable. I'd prefer to see these really light colored covers in hand. Around 8.0/8.5 as is, maybe possible to C&P it to at 9.0
