Can you humor the new guy with a scanned GL #76?

Glad I got that scanner!

[higgsboson]

have to make another clarification. That black spot on the bottom of the back cover is from the scanner not on the book thankfully.

I will have to change my grade now that I am not on the laptop, I would guess guess a solid 7.0 With my original grade being a 8.0/8.5 book. It is still a nice book. But I will try not to grade a book using my laptop. The much nicer and bigger 25" monitor really brings the details out very nicely.

is there a CB crease on the bottom right corner of the front cover?

[faster friends]

7.0+

[supapimp]

6.5. maybe a 7.0 at best.

Yes you caught it. Not easy to see in person either if you're not looking at the right angle. So possible grades ranging from 6.5 to 8.5. This is why I hate to give a grade to something I'm selling. I have a CGC 8.5 GL76 and this is definitely not in that class. The top edge of the cover, and spine I would think take it below 8. I think a single small crease like that shouldn't push it below a 7, right?

[etanick]

with that CB corner crease, i will go with a 6.5/7.0

 

don't forget the big thumb print that broke colors on the bottom edge by GL's thigh.

 

[higgsboson]

Yea, I'm tending to agree that it is closer to a 6.5. Not worth submitting, it'll probably be easier to sell raw.

7.0/7.5 (thumbs u

[Spiderphill]

6.0/6.5

[ROBTOTHEC]

Probably a 6.5 but it does present a little nicer.

I dunno, I've seen this issue for sale here (graded at 8.0 by allegedly reputable sellers) that didn't look this nice . . .

This is a 7.5 book all day long.

Me too, but my point was, you won't see it listed for sale here as that.

[higgsboson]

well the consensus seems to be 6.5 so that's what I'll advertise it as.

Thanks for the help

[Conan_Aficionado]

7.0/7.5, I think it's a case of a great scan accentuating the defects.

[higgsboson]

So I should lower the resolution

 

Actually I have gotten comments from people I've sold to who I gave high res scans to before they bought, and often when the book arrives they comment it looks better than the scans. I get robbed on ebay often because I put high quality books at no reserve and I see the same book clearly at a lower grade that is advertised as 8-9 when it is a 4-5 and it sells for more than my conservative 6.5, so maybe I should start posting books here where people actually know how to grade a book.
