6.0. No idea about the extent. Did you replace the missing corner on the interior?

[ROBTOTHEC]

6.0 IMHO...

Wow that looks great!!!

[scooter99]

That resto is simply beautiful.

I was thinking 8.0 Mod P before I saw the Comicdonna hint, now I'm feeling even better about it.

[Aces]

7.5 That crease on the bottom spine didn't come all the way out-looks fantastic

[Hibou]

Yes, terrific work and I'm going to say 8.0 (MP) as well...

 

I would've said 7.5 but Mike guessed that and you said he was close. I think it looks too nice for a 7.0.

 

 

 

[ARK]

Book looks great.

 

Great job Mike! I'll go 8.5

[Hero Restoration]

Two things, one is I didn't mention that the pages were washed to try and remove the stains, and the label notes pages lightened. I think I assumed everyone would notice this but it looks like that was incorrect.

 

Also, the original intention of this thread was to get an objective grade on the book before the restoration work, so that when I post this project over in the restoration forum I could give an objective grade, but then I thought it would be fun to let everyone guess the new grade after restoration since you all probably don't get that kind of PGM thread often.

 

I am working on the other thread today and will reveal the grade later on today.

Looks like you lost a little ink on p 12. Is that from the washing or a by-product of the leaf casting?

 

You've come a long way very quickly, congrats!

I think that is from stray paper pulp that I didn't clean off, especially since none of my wash only comparisons ever showed any ink loss, pages are tough in that regard.

[Aces]

 

Wow extensive?

 

Nice though.

 

 

[Hero Restoration]

Jeez Aces, I just posted that a minute ago and was header here to do the same but you beat me to it.
