Got a 4.5 on this book it has since been freed from the slab. 724713-Image002%284%29.jpg

Robbed? With that four-inch crease on the right lower corner/edge, he was lucky to get a 4.5! That book is nowhere near as nice as the JIM#110 that is the subject of this thread. foreheadslap.gif

I can't see the crease you mention, but I'll take your word that it's there, and in that case 4.5 would be more in line.

 

Look between the light blue lines I added, then go back and look at the original picture.

Yeah, it's enough to knock it down from 6.0 to a 5.5, books a walk in the park 5.5. They gave my ASM 101 with same type of crease except upper right corner a 6.0, so there is no way I'd except a 4.5, which I did'nt-it's free and back in the raw run. Plus the crease in question does'nt run from corner to corner.

Comes down from the top, through the comic code, and with this I rest my case. My SS4 is a solid 5.5 if this book is a 6.0.

 

I can't see what the spine or corners or missing edges of this book look like. The rest of the book would have to be gorgeous or your ASM#101 got a gift grade.

 

Your SS#4 looks like a 4.5. I do not think it qualifies as a FN- with that crease and all of the other corner, spine, and edge wear that I can see.

Well, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, as I've been collecting for 26 years now. I use the OS standards, and my SS4 condition wise is much better than the allowances for 4.0-4.5. A 6.0 can have a moderate cover crease with color break, a major cover crease would be..say a subscriptuion fold down the middle. My SS4 meets OS grading guide for a 6.0, but I knock it down to a 5.5. On the plus side is has better reflectivity than is allowed for a 6.0 and it has off-white pages, where a 6.0 is allowed tan to brown. When grading a book the positives must be weighed against the negatives, and my SS4 has enough aspects consistent with a higher grade than 6.0 allowances, and is better than what is allowed for a 4.0(yes better than the extras for a 4.5) the cover is not loose, cover relectivity is not low, there is no soiling and no pieces are missing. So, I'll have to disagree with the 4.5 grade, the book just has to many other positives in it's favor to be that low-peace CC.

Send it in Dan, I think you will be pleased with the result. smile.gif

 

Sure FFB is paying for it. poke2.gif27_laughing.gif

 

There were so many posts for me to quote from, but FFB put his money where his mouth and grading touch is. I will post a scan when it comes back, but it got the 7.0 OWW off my renewal certs. Hmm knowing FFB I probably would not have been able to collect since I paid for my one year subscription, not the grading certs. Well you saved yourself a legal battle anyway...27_laughing.gif

Actually I thought most graders did fairly well considering they were not able to hold the book. The interiors were all great which probably helped the books cause.

 

I had a good time reading the posts myself.

lot's of folks either within a half grade (on their 1st guess) or hedged around 7.0.
