PGM ASM #38

[Whitey]

Just picked it up at my LSC yesterday. Always loved the cover.

1/4" Spine split at top - the top right corner is actually sharper than the image.

However ...

The back cover is a mess. Big creases and two 1" tears.

I thought the front would give me a 4.5, but how bad does that back cover hurt me?

 

You opinions are appreciated.

Yah the bc could use a pressing. 3.5/4.0 imo the bc isnt that big of a deal under 4.0 I dont know about higher grades tho

[Hibou]

I'll say a 3.0 / 3.5

[ROBTOTHEC]

I am leaning towards 3.0!

[oakman29]

Ouch! 2.5/3.0

[DR.X]

Ouch! 2.5/3.0

 

+1

 

 

DR.X

[Boozad]

3.0

Thanks all for the comments.

So I learned that at this grade, the defects on the back just go along with the territory.

I didnt pay attention had I been would have said 3.0 those tears and split pain me

[Kaecilius-migration]

Agreed, no more than 3.0

[Short Stack]

Probably a 3.0

You should get this pressed - I am curious about the results.

And so upon request, here is my very, very crude attempt at pressing and cleaning.

Certainly not worth having done professionally, but I'll give it a try just for fun.

It looks a little better, but I don't think it's gonna impress anyone!
