PGM ASM 1

[ChrisInBaltimore]

So Both covers are there as you can see. Neither cover is attached to the book or one another though. Would it get a .5 or a 1.0 is my big question?

 

Thoughts…

.5 IMHO. ASM 121? That's not what I'm looking at.

[ChrisInBaltimore]

Title fixed- my mistake I was still thinking about my other thread.

[Primetime]

1.0 front cover but he BC I think drops it to .5.

[Red84]

I'm thinking 1.0 since it still looks good and is complete.

[Aces]

0.5 cause it's really tattered.

[timfinz]

1.0 IMHO! Most of the book is there and that is why this book does not warrant a lower grade.

[steveinthecity]

1.0 for the reasons stated above. Now if it had brittle pages I'd go .5.

[divad]

0.5 cause it's really tattered.

 

Agreed. Queue Mick Jagger.

[Thanos88]

0.5

[Jaydogrules]

That is a 0.5. Beat but complete! (thumbs u

Wow, it is pretty beat up and it is in a rough shape. I am not surprised that grader thinks this is going to be .5 but it's up to the grade decider.

 

Otherwise, it is a nice pick up!!!

[ChrisInBaltimore]

1.0 for the reasons stated above. Now if it had brittle pages I'd go .5.

 

I think the pages are alright. It is one of the things that worries me about the book. I could put some resto into it and make it a much nicer copy, but if the pages came back brittle or even cream it would really hurt.

 

Tough call…

 

Thanks for all the grades people. It looks like .5 is winning out, which is sort of my thought.

[Chicago Boy]

I would think 1.0 still

[Shawn Low]

1.0. A recent sale of a beater JiM 83 here on the boards was graded by CGC as a 1.0 in similar ragged shape.

[ChrisInBaltimore]

So here's a question:

 

Would you have this book restored?

[Philreal]

Hi Chris,

Obviously it's your book and your decision.

If it was mine I would do the research needed to find out the cost of restoration and how much of a bump that would receive in grade after. That will tell me if the money spent is worth the return.

Of course if you just want it for your personal collection and enjoyment, the restoration cost may not be that important. Just one persons opinion.
