PGM FF 48

[Michelangelo]

Hey All,

 

I'm hoping you could help me narrow down a grade on this really tight copy of FF 48

colours are nice and bright, staples tight, not too many spine creases

 

there is a small tear (3/16") on upper R side of FC

further down, there is another larger tear on lower R side of FC (11/16")

 

there are also some strange holes on the bottom of a few interior pages (looks like something done during production) - does that knock the grade down?

 

I appreciate your time.

4.5 - nasty tear, the holes are a printing issue at the time the book was made. I don't know if that is considered a defect. I have books like that although not to that extent. I can't image that would be more than a grade difference, if anything.

5.5

I bought this off of a fellow board member who claimed a 6.5

The holes in the interior pages are very common. I would think they do not lower the grade.

 

I would put this at a 5.5. The 6.5 isn't too far off, but an optimistic grade for a book that may look like a fine +, but is technically lower.

I agree 6.5 is not crazy. It actually looks quite nice. The holes on the inside pages are production related,and will not detract from the grade. I love mid grade books with little to no spine defects.

5.5. The tear is @ a 1.0 deduction, at least in my eyes.

 

The holes are from a gripping device used during the production process. The book wont be downgraded due to them. Nice copy!
