PGM Classics #1 O.O.

[Sackolantern]

Hey guys, have dipped into GA over the last year, and am about to have some books graded. Unsure if I should take any action before handing these to CGC - like pressing etc. I'm new to the GA and serious grading, so please take it easy, and all suggestions would be appreciated!

 

I'm hoping to post 3 today and 3 tomorrow - all are from an Original Owner estate sale; these are attic fresh!

Very cool book

 

Not sure if the book is significantly tanned inside but I'd be hesitant to have pressed.

 

Not sure if slabbing is warranted but it looks like a nice presenting copy

Is it as yellow as the photos show?

No, it's a nice cream / off-white.. not sure what happened with the yellow levels from my phone..?

With the poor photos I can't really guess the grade all that well.

 

It looks really nice though. These old Classics are hard to find in higher grades.

 

My best guess from your photos.... 6.0-7.0

May be worth sending to Joey for a press first

Great book !

[Sackolantern]

Already in for a pressing, and then on to CGC!

Just came back, 3 months after submitting- 7.0!

I would suspect that is a great grade for this book!!! It has the look of an original but with 23 different printings, the info on the book will tell the tale. A true 1st edition in this grade guides around $2400!!! There's a raw 6.0 restored on ebay right now asking $1400...

 

I have almost all of the first 80 editions in a line drawn cover edition but none as nice as this...
