PGM: ASM 17

[newmommy-migration]

I really need help with this one, ok? Please?

 

 

And the back cover, too.

 

 

Page quality is off-white to cream.

 

 

 

On a side note, I bought this issue as an upgrade, but having it in hand now, I'm not thinking it is much better, as in at all, than the copy I already have. So, please, leave a grade so I can figure this out. If you guys are grading it around where I'm thinking it should grade, I may be trying to send this one back as it arrived in a less condition than advertised. If I can't get a return, I'll be offering it up on these forums, or possibly heading to (fe)E-Bay.

Heavy enough color break, rounded edges and general soiling make it a Fine-/Fine for me, so 5.5 ish.

[Dollarbill]

5.0

[TFL-migration]

That little nic on the FC lower edge{blue suited guy}..Gets me thinking this is a solid 4.5

Possible 5.0 in hand, sort of, maybe... If that little nic wasn't there. I would call this a 5.0 IMHO....

[newmommy-migration]

Yeah, that one bugged me, too. I'm really not happy with this purchase.

[TheAvenger80]

Yeah, I'd say 5.0

[thehumantorch]

5.0 Did you get if from Ebay?

[MagnetoWasRight]

5.0-5.5

[newmommy-migration]

I did indeed get it from e-bay. I should have known better, but...you know. It's this hobby of ours. Sometimes, you take a gamble and it pays off big time. It just wasn't the case this time.

 

The seller was very nice in e-mails and hopefully we can work something out. I know I wouldn't have bid as much as I did had the description said something like, "moderate wear" instead of "minor wear" or "moderate scratches" instead of "minor creasing."

 

Minor to me, is well, minor. It would put a book in the you know 6.0+ ranges. With the scans they had, the book looked like 6.5 maybe 7.0 and with the description saying no rips, or tears, only minor wear and a minor crease, I was feeling optimistic.

 

Hopefully the seller will get back with me before too long. If not, like I said, I'll be looking for a buyer somewhere, because, honestly, this book is nice, it's just not nice enough for me. It will be looking for a new home soon.

[ROBTOTHEC]

With all those color breaking creases at the top and the spine wear I have a hard time going better than 4.5 on this one.

[newmommy-migration]

Yeah, seriously, looking at this book in hand, it looks like something was dragged over the cover.

 

Would you have described this as "minor wear?" I say the loosest term I would have chosen would have been "moderate." It's anything but minor.

4.0/4.5

[escape21]

A 5.0ish for me

[Aces]

5.0

 

Looks clean though.
