    Don McGregor did such a great job in this series. Too bad you can't see his work in those slabs ;-)

    Just get it out of there before the owner chips it some more.

    I have managed to live my life thus far with no regerts at all.

    I think it is nicer than some I have seen CGC give 5.5 too so I am comfortable to give it a 6.
  5. Albert Thurgood
    It's 5 or 5.5 now. It's definitely not betta.
  6. Albert Thurgood
    major crease -> 3.5. Shame as it looks nicer otherwise
  7. Albert Thurgood
    Looks much better, as far as we can tell from those high altitude photos. ;-)

    ^ What @grendelbosaid
  9. Albert Thurgood
    I thought a major crease like this would take it to 3.5

    It's either him or another Wong... in which case two Wongs make it right.
  11. Albert Thurgood
    4.5
  12. Albert Thurgood
    I rate it as 3.0 also
  13. Albert Thurgood
    2.5 due to cover detached at staple. Congrats on getting this book!
  14. Albert Thurgood
    The creases put it to 3.5 but otherwise presents as 4+
  15. Albert Thurgood
    I agree with 5.0
  16. Albert Thurgood
    My first post in this forum, and first ever copper age book...

    I am interested in why you gave that score for a book that is soiled/tanned like that. I have a copy that I bought new; it has been bagged and boarded ever since then but looks just like this one. I did not know what grade to give it as I did not know how that browning would have affected the grade.

    Sounds like this is a job for ,,, @Math Teacher ;-)
  19. Albert Thurgood
    It's because your state does not want to miss out on those sweet tax dollars. Maybe you should move to Oregon ;-)

    I also go for 2.5. Too good for 2 but too many defects for 3.
  21. Albert Thurgood
    5.5 I would be interested to see what it looks like after it is cleaned, i.e. how effectively they can fix it up. Can you post photos after the c&p but before slabbing (if you do get it slabbed).
  22. Albert Thurgood
    2.0 also. Well done! Also to your younger self for being restrained on the application of tape. I have several SA books that would be graded 8+ if the OO had not applied tape to all 4 sides of front and back covers.
  23. Albert Thurgood
    4.5
  24. Albert Thurgood
    7.0/7.5

    MCS wants to charge me over $90 to send ONE book to AUS! This does not count import taxes that trans-shippers would also charge. In comparison it cost me ~US$20 to send a shipment to a US boardie.
