Is it just me that thinks 2.5 on this fugly book was a generous grade

[chezhead]

is that mold?

[Bronty]

that is a nasty book for nearly 40 grand. Ugh.

[Mutie Fan]

I thought CGC hammered staining, but not on that book. IMO that book is a great restoration candidate.

at $40,000 you would lose big time for restoring.

Whoever bought it will be lucky if he/she doesn`t pick up an infection from the book.

Yeah probably. I don't sell my books though. I look at that book and it cries out to at least have the cover cleaned, so I figure while your at it fill in and ct that corner and have one super nice looking book.

Fixed that for ya!

is that mold?

yep, foxing...

[jgallo]

is that mold?

yep, foxing...

 

And there isn't a thing you can do about that. It's in the paper and IMO that books looks like crapola because of it.

I'm not a hater of the foxing/mold as it is so easy to be. But I think that combined with the missing pieces and other flaws (in both books) warrant a 2.0 at best. I think a 1.5 would be harsh on both as there are some ugly tape infested books that get the 1.5 Blue label.

 

But hey in both cases you get a complete unrestored book with decent page quality and the cover attached. Sure it's low grade but still a decent book to own. Pricing may be an issue but hell, I'd buy the Action 1 for whatever it sold for in 2004 and be lucky for it. And I remember the boards making all kinds of fun of this book when it sold back then.
