seems higher at first glance but I give it a 4.5/5.0

 

I can't tell if that is a small tear at the top above the P in Casper. Also-- is it stained or water damaged in some way? The sun shadow on the back brings it down a bit and the spine is somewhat rough but hard to see without zooming in. I also detected some creases and small tears on the back. And a small spine split is apparent at the top on the back side. The more I looked, the more I seemed to find.

 

This would be much easier with a proper scan. It is a nice book but I am guessing based on the photo.

Sorry bout the weak photos. I bought this book with a bad spine roll at the Carbo show then immediately sent it to Susan Cicconi and she has sent it to Cgc for me. These were the after shots. I don't think she has or uses a scanner. I hope to know next Friday what the grade is, I did express it.
