Little Help with grading this ToS 49

[arexcrooke]

This is my first time trying to post a book here (i think) and would love to have the boards opinions on this book.

Also, if anyone could tell me how to put the pic in the post, that would be nice too.

Here you go

Nikos, would you like to go into a little more detail?

Sorry I was talking to a customer at the time I was trying to post your pic, my original statement was towards her, just typed it by mistake

[arexcrooke]

 

Now could you share the knowledge of how to get my pics embedded in the post and not have to link to it?

[nik]

Copy your url/http where the pic is, when you post or respond to a post, click on "image", paste what you copied there and it should work.

lots of stress on the spine and creases on the corners. perhaps a bit of fading in the colors. BC is a bit dirty and there are some obvious indents/creases.

 

still, when viewed on the whole, it's still pretty presentable. i'm thinking in the 4.5 area?! LOVE that cover, BTW...........

5.0

tears near staples bring it down...

corners a bit abraded too

still - very nice book

VG+ sounds right to me, too! Great book. One of my very favorite SA crossovers!

[arexcrooke]

I kinda thought it was around a vg. I usually try to stick around a vf on Silver books, but I got a decent deal on it and it looks a little better in person, not much, but a little. While it is a key, it was not high enough up my want list to wait to find it in higher grade and have to shell out the extra $$$$$$ for it. Anyway, thanks, ive got a few other books im going to scan and get your opinions on.

[garthgantu]

I'd say VG or perhaps a tad lower. The "crunch" to the URC looks like it may extend through much, or all, of the book? If so, VG- is probably more likely.

4.0 to 4.5 is my best estimate. Tough to say with that upper right corner.

4.5

 

Nice mid-grade copy.

5.0 might be possible depending on if that top right corner damage is mere surface creaseing, or bends through the whole book.

[arexcrooke]

The top corner does not go through the whole book, just on the cover. I know that this is going to sound dumb, (i have a habit of that) but the book does look better in person. My LCS had it graded as a F, but I got the book for vg price, so i think that I got a fair shake. Thanks for the info, guys, ive got a ToS 41 that ill get you opinions on next.

Looking at both covers, I'd say a 5.0

5.0? Didn't you see that Arex said that the book has at least 7 points worth of gloss??
