marvelmaniac Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Judging by the pics posted and my poor eye site not being able to see any minute defects in the pics posted I will go out on a limb and give this books a... NM 9.4 9.4 NEAR MINT (NM): Nearly perfect with only minor imperfections that keep it from the next higher grade. Subtle bindery/printing defects are allowed. Bindery tears must be less than 1/16" on Silver Age and later books, although on Golden Age books bindery tears of up to 1/4" have been noted. Cover is flat with no surface wear. Inks are bright with high reflectivity and a minimum of fading. Corners are cut square and sharp with ever-so-slight blunting permitted. A 1/16" bend is permitted with no color break. Small, inconspicuous, lightly penciled, stamped or inked arrival dates are acceptable as long as they are in an unobtrusive location. Slight foxing. Spine is tight and flat. Staples are generally centered; may have slight discoloration. Almost no stress lines. Paper is off-white to cream, supple and fresh. Slight interior tears are allowed migmtl76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 9.0 IMO. No idea what a press will do. migmtl76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However from the bindery tear (upper left corner), It might be brought down a little. Thanks for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
