Astonishing 8

An interesting one (in grading now will post the result after I get it).

Anyone?

Hey Chris 5.0

[Johnny545]

Hey Nick! Hope the family is well.

 

Thanks for the opinion.

 

This one is only for the brave - not an easy one to grade and I was a bit surprised with the result.

 

Result after a few more guesses.

This one is indeed a toughie. I'll go out on a limb and guess CGC said 6.0. Book has lots of positives, transfer stains usually seem to get a pass (?) + it appears to be a more relaxed grading period. Without the tape pull, would go a bit higher. Nice one!

Going out on a limb here. Put me down for 6.5.

I have to say the scans make it looks worse than it is the discoloration on BC did not hurt the grade, the only thing that did was the color loss in the top right and some minor spine wear.

One last bump, will post picture of slab later tonight.

[Noble Nostalgia aka Nikelspot]

We'e doing good. I hope you guys are.

 

From the scan that stain or tanning is probably worse than it is. Without the stain 7.0+ maybe.

[Johnny545]

A pleasant surprise.

A pleasant surprise.

Damn! I'll say.

 

Is that not a tape pull in the upper left corner?

 

 

[Johnny545]

It is some kind of color loss - like it flaked off, might be from tape, not sure.

 

Tied for highest graded at the moment, in hand it had a lot going for it and obviously the back cover discoloration was not detrimental - so keep that in mind when buying the next book.
