Guess the grade...FF style

[DiceX]

Guess the grade.

It will be submitted soon.

What's your guess?

 

One small stress that breaks color at the bottom of the top staple. The rest is as you see it in the scan.

 

[Murph]

It looks approx VF+ to me.

[ninanina]

At least an 8.5 me-thinks, with an outside chance of a 9.0, depending on how much "surface-wear" there is. (Upper and Lower right side)

[uclapeterg]

8.0.

No surface wear. No blemishes. Not even a single nutsack dent.

The corners are sharp, aside from the lower left which has a tiny bindery tear.

The lower right edge of the front cover has a very light scuff. It doesn't effect the front cover surface, just the edge of the paper.

8.0

 

Lt spine creasing; miscut at top edge and LLFC; Lt surface wear URFC; softness to LRFC; slight play at lower staple?

 

I'd have to see it to go higher . . .

8.0.

 

What do you see that brings it down to 8.0?

The stress is light. The scan makes them look worse than they are. Only one of those breaks color.

No surface wear in the upper right corner. It's the scan.

The lower right corner is razor sharp.

No play on the staple. They are both tight.

A book in hand is worth two in the bush

I dont know what the hell people are seeing to bring this book down to a VF

 

but

I think its more towards a VF/NM minumum. It looks like it has a little color fade in URC in the black, definately miswrapped but still should grade at a 9.0

Niko,

 

Well, these were my thoughts from the scan, before Dice's reply:

Dice,

looks like a vf+ to a vf/nm. The bent overflash at the top, the small and light crease on the urc pulls it down. Some spine stess lines and a "rough" for lack of a technical term on the bottom right edge. Nice book!

There is no bent overflash. It's a spritz of distributor spray that creates the illusion.

No crease in the URC.

i think i'd guess that CGC would give it a 9.0...........

Well in that case, I'm gonna' go 9.2 at least. This is much nicer than any 8.0 I've seen.

9.0 with an outside chance of being 8.5

 

Please clean the back cover!
