Is it done? Geez you come a few minutes late and you miss the party

There are a couple spine tics on the FC, the biggest being the one on the bottom in the black, the other few are very hard to see as they are in the yellow. All the back issues I think a C&P will take care of mostly so yes I was quite surprised too at all the 7s and 8 being tops. One thing I don't see much in PGM threads and even though I'm new I'm guilty of as well so I will try to change myself. I think adding some context or narrative to the grade helps us all learn and understand better as opposed to just throwing the grade out.

Hello, ASM 121 here. Let me know what you think, real bright vibrant cover.

That actually helped alot thank you for elaborating. Also there was a disconnect because I had written to factor in a clean and press as I was planning to get one, so I figure that would knock out a good amount of the dirt, wave and crease issue. But totally follow the grade then if you're including all that.

What are you all seeing that I'm not here? Must be something on the back, because the front seems well above a 7, not being combative, honestly just curious what you are all seeing to ding it that much so I can learn what maybe I am not looking for close enough. Thanks.

good question, I'll have to ask. I don't own this one yet. Is there a good resource somewhere to find which books have pin-ups and MVS? I wasn't aware this one had one so didn't think to ask, thanks for catching.

Hello, Here is my ASM 55. Front is very clean, and the back i think most of the defects will be helped alot by a press. However on the bottom left about 2/3 of the way down there is something going on that I don't quite know how to describe. It's kind of like a drop of water or something got there at some point and dried out. That's the hangup for me as I don't know how to account for that. Would get it P & C as well so I guess factor that in, I think it would help out a good amount on the back. Thank you in advance.

Hello, Here is my ASM 23. Worst defect is the front bottom right crease. I believe the grade is all dependent on how that is considered, but I'm not sure how to account for it so looking for advice. Would get it P & C as well so I guess factor that in, I think it would help out a good amount on this book. Thank you in advance.

Thanks for your P.O.V though I think 1 crease like that dropping a book to a 7 is extremely strict. But always good to have contrarian views to temper expectations. The crease size you're off on a bit. It is about 1/4 inch if that changes anything for you.

9.4 maybe a 9.6 after C&P

4.5

9.2/9.4 after a press.

9.2 after the C&P

Thank you

So if the printer's crease thing theoretically would not count what do you guys see that's holding it back? Only other thing I see is maybe the bottom part of the bottom staple on the FC has a slight tick and maybe the top left corner on the front, but I believe that's just a bindery issue, which also shouldn't count against it right?

Assuming what I see on the FC by his arm is waves/dents that can be pressed out, I think this can be an 8 with a good CP.

I see a little dirt by his arrow and looks like a dent on the H? I think this would do real well after a clean and press though, 9.4ish

Depending how well that back cover takes to a CP I think it could be a 6. But if it doesn't change much I'd put it at 5.
