8.5

[WEBHEAD]

I posted a ASM 86 a while back that got "stoned" it came back a 9.4

 

I like these grading defintions.. (since CGC is triple dog secret)

 

9.0 VERY FINE/NEAR MINT (VF/NM): Nearly perfect with outstanding eye appeal. A limited number of bindery/printing defects are allowed. Cover is almost flat with almost imperceptible wear. Inks are bright with slightly diminished reflectivity. An 1/8" bend is allowed if color is not broken. Corners are cut square and sharp with ever-so-slight blunting permitted but no creases. Several lightly penciled, stamped or inked arrival dates are acceptable. Very minor foxing. Spine is tight and flat. Staples may show some discoloration. Only the slightest staple tears are allowed. A very minor accumulation of stress lines may be present if they are nearly imperceptible. Paper is off-white to cream and supple. Very minor interior tears may be present.

 

8.5 VERY FINE+ (VF+): Fits the criteria for Very Fine but with an additional virtue or small accumulation of virtues that improves the book’s appearance by a perceptible amount.

 

8.0 VERY FINE (VF): An excellent copy with outstanding eye appeal. A limited accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Cover is relatively flat with minimal surface wear beginning to show, possibly including some minute wear at corners. Inks are generally bright with moderate to high reflectivity. An unnoticeable 1/4" crease is acceptable if color is not broken. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. Minor foxing. Spine is almost completely flat with a possible minor color break. Staples may show some discoloration. Very slight staple tears and a few almost insignificant stress lines may be present. Paper is cream to tan and supple. Centerfold is mostly secure. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present.

9.0/9.2

[etanick]

my bad, I thought there was a 1/4" spine split on the top left ...need new glasses since I am seeing things but no spine split = 9.2

 

as far as those grading definitions...worthless really since it has nothing to do with 9.2 or 9.4

[Timmay]

9.2

 

Nice copy

[Peter Loves Gwen]

That book looks great, if the spine doesn't have stress lines etc, of any significance, I say NM. If those slightly visible lines/marks along the center of the spine are from noticeable stresses or creases, 8.5/9.0 most likely.

 

Very nice copy, white pages(CGC). (thumbs u

8.5 for me. Great colors.

9.4 NEAR MINT (NM): Nearly perfect with only minor imperfections that keep it from the next higher grade. Subtle bindery/printing defects are allowed. Bindery tears must be less than 1/16" on Silver Age and later books, although on Golden Age books bindery tears of up to 1/4" have been noted. Cover is flat with no surface wear. Inks are bright with high reflectivity and a minimum of fading. Corners are cut square and sharp with ever-so-slight blunting permitted. A 1/16" bend is permitted with no color break. Small, inconspicuous, lightly penciled, stamped or inked arrival dates are acceptable as long as they are in an unobtrusive location. Slight foxing. Spine is tight and flat. Staples are generally centered; may have slight discoloration. Almost no stress lines. Paper is off-white to cream, supple and fresh. Slight interior tears are allowed.

 

9.2 NEAR MINT– (NM–): Nearly perfect with only a minor additional defect or defects that keep it from Near Mint. A limited number of minor bindery/printing defects are allowed. Cover is flat with no surface wear. Inks are bright with only the slightest dimming of reflectivity. Corners are cut square and sharp with ever-so-slight blunting permitted. A 1/16-1/8" bend is permitted with no color break. Small, inconspicuous, lightly penciled, stamped or inked arrival dates are acceptable as long as they are in an unobtrusive location. Slight foxing. Spine is tight and flat. Staples may show some discoloration. Almost no stress lines. Paper is off-white to cream, supple and fresh. Slight interior tears are allowed.

 

 

In hand I'm leaning for a sure 9.2

 

This book looks like it was picked off the presses, the color as you can see just are perfect.......

Nice copy. 9.0 Don`t think I could give it higher as your first pic shows a bend

on the interior pages and perhaps a small rip on the bottom cover spine.

I have to look at it again.. interesting Overstreet allows for this

 

Slight interior tears are allowed?

 

 

[porky]

based on some books i got back recently, i'd say probably 9.2, maybe 9.4 if you're lucky

[Point Five]

Man, I'd be dancing in the street if the LCSs here got in books like this. Well done!
