If the book was not restored or trimmed, what would you say 5.0?

 

5.5 give or take imo.

But it was trimmed, and I have to agree with the CT as well. Looks like they doctored the black line in several places.

Decent looking book.

Is there any resto, aside from the trimmed right edge?

 

Not that I doubt you, but how do you know it is trimmed? I want to know how to recognize it if I see it. Is it just because the right edge looks to have so much less wear then the others?

 

Because given the general wear of the comic, the right edge is unusually sharp.

Compare the crispness of the edge with the top and bottom edges.

Look at the crease at the bottom right of the FC. Notice how it's perfectly straight even through the wear.

 

Then look at how much shorter the book is than any other copy of this issue. Not that this is a 100%, but given the other tells, it adds up to being highly suspect in my opinion.

 

 

Also, note that there is absolutely no cover overhang on the right edge. Dead giveaway given the other signs.

 

But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.

 

 

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.
