  1. This book is not in bad shape. Couple of color breaking ticks. Small dog ears in each corner. Inside is complete. Nothing missing. Thanks guys for your help again.
  2. Reader copy. Major color breaking ticks. Beat up corners. Edge wear. Inside is complete. Thanks again guys!
  3. I had issues posting clear pictures for this book. I think l fixed it. Here it goes
  4. Sorry guys. I’m noticing that for some reason when l shrink my pictures they are now blurry. Will have to see what is causing it. You can disregard this post if you like. Pictures look bad.
  5. Chip missing on right hand side edge of front cover. Also an impression that runs top to bottom on front cover. About an inch in from right side. A few color breaking ticks on spine. Inside white pages. Nothing missing. Thanks for the feedback.
  6. I first took the book apart than ran water over the whole page in a sink. Did not use calcium hydroxide. Than l used ImmacuClean from Immaculate Comics (Rick) and that did not work. It’s not chocolate. It would not even reduce. I never had a stain this stubborn.
  7. Sorry guys. Not sure why these pictures were coming out blurry. Trying to fix
  8. Yes, water spots on top of back cover. Not bad though. I forgot to move the light when l took pictures. Sorry
  9. Not too bad a copy. It has its defects. Some damage on front cover near the spine. Near bottom staple. Inside is complete. Thanks again!
  10. Book has a stain on the inside that l was unable to get out. It’s definitely in there good. Let me know about the rest of it. Thx
  11. Thank you guys. My own grading had put it at a 4.0 so l think l was in the same ballpark. It is too bad about the spine issues otherwise it looked good.
  12. The cover is slightly attached on the top staple from the front. The backside of top staple has a tear. The bottom staple has wear around it but is attached to cover. This book shows it’s age. Inside is complete. Let me know. Thanks!
  13. Thanks for the input from everyone. Happy Thanksgiving !
  14. Wish it didn’t have ticks on the spine. Inside is in great shape. Nothing missing. Let me know.
  15. Not a bad book. A few ticks and a crease near spine. At least it wasn’t color breaking. Thanks for the help
  16. Seen better days. See for yourself. Centerfold of book is detached. Still love this cover and price back then! Let me know. Thanks
  17. Ok. Was a reader copy but it cleaned up nice. Still defects can be seen. Inside is fine. Let me know what you think. Thx!
  18. Color breaks especially long ones will decrease the value for sure. I clean and press for clients and it’s still a very nice book. The back cover needs a cleaning. The red area at the top shows the color break the most. Can’t do anything about that. If pressed a few times l would be curious if the yellow area wasn’t as bad. The black letters in the folded yellow area are not showing color breaks. Same for the white area. I’ve seen my share of these. The tanning on the bottom though does not look like dirt. Not sure even an aqueous bath of calcium hydroxide would lighten it. It looks exposed to light. The front shows nothing from the fold. Lucky there! Best case… fold presses out and yellow area (after cleaning) shows no sign of damage….7.0. Fingers crossed! Good luck
