PGM DD7 - Brazilian 1969

[Barbarian]

Just received this from seller. (The scans, not the book. I would never scan a comic like this)

 

Wondering about the grade. Any help ould be very welcome.

It's difficult when the scans are cropped however it appears as though the book is in similar shape all round. I would say 6.0 conservatively with the foxing and soiling. Laying the spine out like that really.....

Yep. I shouted at the screen when I ´saw the scans and realized what he did there.

 

So you think a dry cleaning could improve the grade, considering there is nothing else going on?

 

I was thinking that the little hole on the back cover between the yellow and the blue circle would hammer it down a lot.

 

Thanks

That didn't come across as a tear/hole to me, I thought it was a piece of dirt/loose paper that got trapped on the scanner bed?

 

As for the dry cleaning in my opinion it can't hurt the grade, that's for sure!

Looks like a hole to me, but hope you are right.

 

Will probably get it though. This is the second copy I ever saw for sale and the other one was not as nice as this.

 

Thanks for the input.

I had looked closely at the large scans. You had provided the links in your original post. I could not match the shape of the object to a tear on the cover. I am quite sure that this is just a piece of loose paper or dirt.

However it is best you ask the seller to confirm this suspicion first!

Best of luck if you do go ahead and buy it!

Checked with the seller and it was indeed a bit of dirt.

 

You have eagle eyes timern!

 

Thanks for the input. The book is on its way.
