Tollefti

Unfortunately a bad spot really drops it with a tape tear in the top left, but that is why I got it really cheap. Wondering how bad it hits it with its othe minor defects, like a color breaking crease in the bottom right of front page. Otherwise it could have been a pretty great grade! Inside and staples are pristine.

Thanks for the input everyone! I was hoping it was above 8.5, but I do agree with everyone's takes here

This one has been throwing me off. It looks high grade at quick glance, but the closer you look there can be some issues. Glossy, complete, lays flat. Pages look off white. I think the back cover has the most issues, just because they are easier to see with the black color. How high, or I guess low, would you grade this?

This isn't one I own, I wanted to get other's opinions on this grade. It is really tough for me to determine. Says it is a complete book, covers are attached. That back cover top left corner is discolouration. Thanks!

Why does that top staple look white?  Almost looks painted....

Could be reflection? Maybe the the blurriness of the picture? I guess I never thought the staple looked white, but now that you mention it...

This is one I am actually looking at trading for. These are the pictures that were supplied. They gave me their idea of a grade, but I wanted to see what everyone else thinks? Says book is complete, not cutouts. Top staple is showing signs of detachment on inside.

Pages are off-white - cream, maybe more cream, I am a terrible judge on it. No creases. Biggest damage I can see is the top left corner front and back cover. Complete book

Thanks everyone! I figured the grade would be low, but this was one of my biggest gets when starting out my collection so I love it like a 9.8. Thank you!

Pages are off white to cream, the Staples worry me. One is getting pretty rusty, the other is starting to, also, are they in the right place for this book? It is complete, no cutouts. I am hoping a press and clean can help with th stains on the front cover.

Tear in top right on cover, underneath APR, easier to see on the inside cover. Staples are not rusting. Interior pages look to be off-white/cream. Top left corner,back cover, creased. Complete book, no cutouts. It has a lot going on so wanted to see what other people thought about a grade. Thank you!!
