PGM Hulk 234 Tricky grade I think

[fastballspecial]

Man I thought I had a NM- or so copy of this book, but on second look as you look down the back cover spine I can see a small stain running down side of spine. It runs from one staple to the other along the spine about a 1/4 wide at most. So how much does this affect the grade?

The stain you are seeing, I am pretty sure is associated with the printing process. I have several book with what appears to be identical staining. It is not on the interior of the cover of mine and I am guessing it is not on the interior of your book either. I think that our boardie friend vaillant might be able to decipher exactly what this might be. Let's hope he catches this and can provide us with some insight.

It is on the interior cover of mine all the way down.

Interesting. I would almost guess that it was an oil leak from the stapling machine if I knew enough about the printing process? But I don't.... but that is still my guess!

Give me a couple of more grades here before I put this one away.

Large stain, goes through the cover...

 

3.5 ??

 

 

I'd go for a Qualified grade for that... 9.2 Q sounds better on that book than 3.5 Blue does.
