Hi there...just bought this on eBay and would like some opinions. Not sure how much it shows in the scans, but there is very minor water damage...some rippling and very, very light stains in a few areas. Don't know how much it would affect the grade...I will probably have it pressed to minimize. But the bigger issue is whether this has been trimmed...looks very suspicious to me. Thoughts on the grade and whether it looks trimmed? Thanks in advance! :foryou:

Both the front and the back covers are shorter than the pages. Doesn't seem right to me, but what do I know?

It doesn't looked trimmed to me either. Maybe the water caused some shrinking and the suspicious looking edge? (hold your jokes please) :P

 

you mean significant shrinkage?

LOVE that episode...one of the all-time most hilarious! lol

 

But seriously...I'm thinking about returning it for a refund because of the moisture damage which was of course undisclosed, and the possibility that if I get it graded it could end up with a PLOD. (shrug)

Well if you are going to return it do it for the staining only. Trimming is really hard to detect and it is possible for a book to looked trimmed but not be.

 

P.S I wouldn't slab it either way.

i've had many books with the similar "look" where the pages stick out,and they were not trimmed.
