Adv Unk 1 - Fine/Very Fine?????

 

OK - so check the auction pic and then look at the same pick with just the brightness and contrast altered.

 

Below is the auction pic:

 

Below is the pic with a heck of a lot more color breaking creases:

 

 

Or is it just me and this really is a F/VF????

Other pic is that pic just lightened in Photo Editor. There has definitely been electronic manipulation of the image beyond the norm. I used to own a nice copy of that book and those neon colors were just not hapening there.

ahh but i still say now way that is a 7.0 a 6.0 at the very best but i would truly say 5.0-5.5

i so love that cover, looks like a fine(-) though

you can sometimes find great shocks when doing that with contrast, its a good tool to use

I'll tell you - it is the easiest thing to do. Go to the auction and supersize if available. Right click the image and COPY. Open a program like Adobe or Photo Editor and Paste it into a new image. Then just fiddle with the brightness, contrst and gamma. I have passed on a lot of books that way - but seeing an Adventures Into The Unknown #1 got me excited but seeing the end result kind of brought out the activist in me!
