adamstrange Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I agree with tth2. Visible browning of a cover would affect grade much quicker than page quality. And I speak as a person that likes nice quality. In any event, enjoy the book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFB Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Nice book! Technically, it is probably close to that but it has the usual browning on the interior covers that kills books at CGC. I expect it would get an 8.0 or so if I were to submit it. Actually, I don't think CGC penalizes books very much for that at all. Without having the book in hand it's hard to tell if it's browning or just dust shadows. I think CGC's emphasis on paper quality is a really good thing. 10 years ago, I suspect grading a book like this NM- or NM would have been widely accepted in the market. CGC only factors paper quality into its structural grade for the very highest grades. Unless the pages were tan or brittle, I don't think it would prevent CGC from giving the book a structural 9.4 grade (assuming that structurally it IS a 9.4). Actually, significant tanning on the cover of a NM book does get downgraded into the VF range (as opposed to page quality, where cream to off-white pages can be found up to 9.6 on some books). I don't get why CGC is so harsh on cover tanning but lenient on the effect of page quality on the highest grades, but it's apparently true.

I've seen 9.6 books with edges just like the FC 147 that tb posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ft88 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Awesome book. This cover is a swipe from a single panel in issue 16. I thought that was kind of interesting. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Who can identify the artist? Thanks in advance...[/img] I'm guessing Horvath, although the image of donald in the hammock seems a bit Taliaferro. That's interesting! Is that "Ferdinand Hustzi Horvath"? He's mostly identified in GCD with text story illustration in early WDCS, but of course funny animal books are scarcely indexed. His INDUCKS page shows him as an animator and illustrator of secondary features for WDCS. this feature in Donald Duck #264 Gladstone, July 1988 is intriguing. I'll have to find a copy. Who Drew the Duck? (Sequence 3 - Text Article , 2 pages ) Credits: Bruce Hamilton (-script), Ferdinand Hustzi Horvath (Pencils), Ferdinand Hustzi Horvath (Inks), ? (Colors), typeset (Letters). Character appearances: Donald Duck Indexer notes: reprints a classic Donald Duck model sheet (1933 or 1934 ?) Does anyone know much about him? The reason I'm so interested is that Horvath is a name in my family tree -- a common Hungarian last name. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tth2 Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 No, I was slabbing some sundry BA books (mostly horror and war) in anticipation of a sale later this year and decided to pull out a few of my later US's and add them to the mix to see if they'd garner any worthwhile grades. I was actually hoping for a 9.6 on this particular book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
