What grade does this FF# 48 get from you

[Eternal]

Just looking for help on the FF #48. I know it is not the prettiest one out there by a long shot but was curious as to what it would get from you. Thank you.

here is the back

VG+ 4.5

really with all that break up on the top, that's sweet i thought for sure it would actually be lower

[supapimp]

there are no colour breaking corner creases at all, other than the slight miswrap/rolled spine, it's a pretty solid book.

VG at the worst, with a good chance at VG+.

[SilverAgeGuy]

I concur, VG to VG+ range.

I would go with a 4.0 if it does not have moisture damage. If you look near the left edge of the back cover there appears to be some slight rippling ( right acrsoo from where it says "Are you weak, always tired, lack pep?) If there is some small moisture damage, it would be a full grade or more less.

Check the FF 2 VG 4.0 on eBay.

 

Is that a water stain by the top staple?

That is a tough call, the picture is pretty bad. Because of the lack of other detractions and yet it still received a 4.0, I am inclined to think that it does have some moisture damage.

No major problems... just the miswrap, top overhang and some spine stress.

 

4.5 - 5.0 IMO.

 

I wouldn't put it below 4.5 because there are no long creases, soiling, chips, tears and the staples appear to be tight.

 

Not a bad book!

I think that's bundling marks. Shouldn't affect this grade IMO...

Sure looks like it, and the staple appears as if it may be rusty!

 

There is a stain on the BC, long reading creases on the FC parallel to the spine and the edge is a bit rough and rounded on the FC middle on up.

 

To me, this is a 4.0.... but I'm surprised CGC didn't rate it lower. They're typically very tough of books like this.
