PGM: JIM 118

[Noble Nostalgia aka Nikelspot]

Hey, this is a nice solid copy of JIM 118. I know about what the grade is, I really need help on the issue that is going on on the interior of the front cover (please give a grade assessment too though ) . I can't tell if it has been repaired (rice paper?). The bottom right of the front cover has some staining, but the color is fine? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you-Nik

Will or can anyone face my challenge?

I don't know...looks like dust shadows or tanning to me...

 

With the stain on the FC and tear, I'd say 5.5-6.0...leaning toward the lower grade...

Rice paper should be easy to spot, will defintely feel/look at lot different than the surrounding pages of the actual book. Hard one to grade because there looks to be extensive staining which will absolutely kill the technical grade.

Thanks, fellas. Can rice paper only be applied to interior of the cover without effecting the front?

How many pages are effected by the moisture problem in the centerfold? The book has many weird problems. I would throw a grade 4.5/5.0. I don't think that it is rice paper on the cover, just some moisture staining. I have a few books with this problem and I know that they haven't been touched.

4.0 Possible 4.5 IMHO.

4.0 Possible 4.5 IMHO.

 

I gotta agree with 4.0, water damage kills
