I'll give it a 6.0 if the spine creases aren't so hard that the book lays over in your hand. The paper quality makes a difference too. So much cannot be judged in a picture, if that spine was strong I'd give it more. Those creases are acceptable in Fine.

Looks like you're right

 

FN+ 6.5

 

Above-average copy that shows minor wear but is fairly flat and clean with good eye appeal. Overall look is as if read a few times and handled with moderate care. Some accumulaton of bindery or printing flaws allowed. Corners may have blunting, cover inks may be less bright or have reduced reflectivity, spine may have a minor roll with a possible 1/4" split and minor color breaks, staples may have minor discoloration, and pages can be tannish but fairly supple. Minor cover soiling and small staple tears allowed. A very tiny piece may be missing. Cover may have minor surface wear with minor to moderate cover creases.

4.5 also, but I could see it going 5.0 since there are no chips or pieces out of the edges or corners. Pretty good looking book regardless.

lotta range on this one

i think its a solid 5.5 personally, 6.0 would prob be pushing it

I'm gonna send it out and we'll see what happens

 

If you report back with the final grade with cgc's notes, I would be a happy geek.

 

No, you'll just be a geek . . . :baiting: WTTB
