How does one grade this?

[Bronty]

Appears strict NM+ except for those nasty stacking marks. Anybody know of any books graded by cgc that had the same problem and how they were graded??

 

Thanks in advance.

I've seen back covers like this get 9.6, but haven't seen a front cover. They might ignore it because I believe you can wonder bread that stuff off.

I agree that the muck on the front cover may well be easily cleaned with the dry cleaning method. Have yet to try Wonder Bread. I must buy some and see how it stacks against the shavings pillow!

Ah ha!!! Just so happens I have another, lower grade copy with the stacking marks. I will have to break out the Wonder Bread on the lower grade copy and test the results. Thanks!!

Hey! If you can do a before/after scan???? Would be really interesting!

[Bronty]

For sure!!! Hell, I'm curious enough about this that I am going to the grocery store right now. Check back in 30 mins.

Pov, it has to be WONDER brand bread and not any other kind, right?

Yes! It is a happening as we watch! Gotta love it! (I ocnfess to being pretty excited about the outcome!)

Wait, it might not fetch THAT high of a grade! There's no LARSON marking on the book! Scribble a cursive "L" a la Laverne & Shirley on the cover, then it'll fetch a high grade!

 

(What I was thinking of when I made such an absurd claim)

EPIC 16 AFTER WONDER BREAD

 

OK, I rubbed like half a friggin loaf on this thing. It works OK but not great. Am I doing something wrong? I removed the crusts and rubbed over the surface. I had to rub pretty hard to get any results at all. Here's the scan:

Ah [!@#%^&^]. Too late. I rubbed too hard. Look at the scan. The white border on the left became yellow from the bread!

5 stars for Dan, for not only taking the time to buy the bread and scan the books, but having the balls to try..... and in the face of such criticism, I may add... no fingers pointed at Bug or the good Doc
