Finally got a scanner (HP8300) and still figuring out how to use it, but here's my first PGM. My ASM42 I bought 25ish years ago

looks like you cropped the spine in the F.C. picture.

Oops! Thanks, edited with a fixed scan.

[H0RR0RSH0W]

it so miswrapped it still looks cropped.

 

You did a good job taking care of that book for 25 years!

 

Off white pages. No major damage.

 

Solid 8.5

Looks like a nice presenting copy. I'm leaning more towards 8.0. Too bad for the miswrap, those are a deal breaker for me. If you like you can compare your copy with mine (thumbs u

Thanks for the grades so far!

 

I'm amazed it has survived three moves and two basement floods (thankfully was above ground for both) since my 13-year-old self purchased it.

And agreed with the fugly miswrap, but that's what I could pony up the cash for back then...$25 was a few months of saving

I wonder if the first kid who bought it only had to pay 2 cents

8.5/9.0

[FineCollector]

8.0

[Ghost Rider]

8.0 With a good chance of 8.5

Haha, just a bit more miswrapped and it would have been a free copy

[cpannell]

8.5. Very nice copy. Miswraps don't bother me.

[ChasingKingKirby]

Hmmm? Two weak spine side corners make me think 7.5 on this one.

[chewy106]

Resurrecting my first PGM as the grade is now in.

 

Came back as:

 

7.5 OW/W

small bend left bottom of back cover

small soiling top of back cover
