It used to be that ASM #28 was tough to get in high grade due to the black cover.

 

Then it was ALL black covers that were tough to get in high grade.

 

Not I am seeing several PURPLE COVERS being sold lately as if they too were "tough" colors to get.

 

 

And I am seeing books being sold as "tough green cover".

 

So is there any color of ink that isn't "tough" to find in high grade other than white covers? (shrug)

"Black covers are rarer in high grade" is a myth.

 

It's simply easier to spot the wear.

 

:whistle:

 

On the money. (thumbs u

 

It's the aesthetic effect of the defects that is more pronounced.

 

Yay! I was beginning to feel a bit lonely in the wilderness there....

 

;)

 

But it leads to a very interesting question, and I promise I won't get into it...is it, then, how a book appears that determines its grade, or how it actually is that does...?
