Redhook Opens His Mini-Vault ...... please offer your grades.

Your ASM #27 is a solid 7.0 if back cover dings are not as bad in person.

Spine is really nice.. only ULC keep it from being really clean.

Color looks awesome.. is it as nice as it looks?Aside from the dirt on the ASM letters.. is that all over the cover? and we just cant see it that well?

Ever wonderbread this 1?

 

A shame back cover does not seem to have the "pop" the front does.

What can you attribute that too?

 

Back seems much more faded.

 

Over all a 8.5 looking book.. but URC and ULC , and cover/back dirt,. hold it back I fear.. still a really nice looking book.. that you should be proud of.

Well, I hope you have a decent size scan of it up!

Hi Aces. You are hereby relieved of duty! Just avoid the thread. Can't keep everyone happy. Sorry.

 

Just don't put the pic inside the thread (use a link).

When you do ever time I open the thread I have to wait for the pics to load and if there are multiple pics...

[Red Hook]

Okay. Okay. I'll fix it. Let me know if it works.

Done.

ASM 27 i love that book, it's a solid 8.0 due to ULC bump/crunch.

[Red Hook]

Thanks. BTW. Saw your DD. Getting up there.......$$$$. Good luck.

[Aces]

Nice VF (8.0) on the ASM 27!

 

How many of these do you have?

[FFB]

that scan is HUGE! go bid some more on my DD 168.

 

Snipe already set.

[FFB]

Thanks FFB. Here is the last one for today....... a MB smaller. Nice gloss, victimized by ink transfer, obviously. A little wear at the lower left spine. Staples shot through the front. Something tells me this is also a tough book. Rough bottom edge on front and bottom. I think it's maybe a 7.0 or an 8.0?

 

The thing is, because these books have been with me so long, these are the ones that will get slabbed and stay with me. Call me sentimental. When I add new books to my collection, I'll probably go for the best I can afford. Thanks to everyone for their input.

 

Classic Ink Transfer!

 

I don't see anything on this book that would bring it below 8.0. I'd say around 8.0 to 8.5 is probably right.

Z,

My guess is the BC is slightly discolored due to acidification between the last page and the inside BC - telltale pattern.

Redhook: A solid 8.5/9.0.

 

i think ucla has got this one pegged right. just enough minor little things to keep it from being a real HG, but this book is notoriously difficult in grade and it's still a beauty

[burntboy]

last post was for the first book, the #27 looks just about an 8.0 to me. still, another beauty

[Red Hook]

Thanks everyone!

[supapimp]

no thankk you!

[Red Hook]
