Please grade this ASM 14 with top edge of cover trimmed

[Red Hook]

Thanks. Offers fielded.

Here the back....

 

[ComicSupply]

Looks sharp, I would say F/VF but its always tough to know without holding them. What are you looking to get? How much does a trimmed top generally decrease the value?

Is the upper staple area of the back of the book starting to tear away? cant really make it out.

[Red Hook]

You're asking ME?

 

Take a look at the two FFs I'm about to put up. All I can say in addition is that all three books are "tight" and have great eye-appeal. They used to be the jewels of my collection until I got Edukated on the Boards here.

GPanalysis has so many samples of these books listed that you'll easily find some jumping off prices for samples of various grades with SA trimmed covers.

Let me get the two FFs up and then I'll come back with some closeups on the staple area.

Nikos, there is some paper loss at the upper half of the top staple.

Took forever to load . . . I think you may have two sides trimmed on this book
