PGM ASM 152 - ink smudges

[adampasz]

How much deduction for the ink smudges on the spine? There is also smudging on the back.

Also there's a 1/4" rough spot along top of book - probably a production defect.

Nobody responded. I guess I will CGC this bad boy and find out for myself.

It is very difficult to give an opinion of grade when pictures are taken while a book in still in the bag. A lot of my G/VG books look flawlwss when in a bag with a board. I'd recommend scans of the front and back if you want someone to give an estimate.

OK. I get it. It's pretty snugly in the sleeve, and I didn't want to mess with it.

 

FWIW, I think the picture with the smudges is clear. That's the main feedback I was curious about.

Very cool cover! The ink smudges are most likely manufacturing errors so you won't get dinged for those. Where you'll get dinged on the smudges is if you try to sell the book. The nip on the bottom isn't gigantic but will come into play. The picture orientation isn't great so its difficult to get an idea of what flaws may be on the cover, but from what I can see I would think a 9.2.

Thanks Quant. Yeah, I love this cover along with ASM72.

I 'll try to post some scans at some point.
