Kon_Jelly Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Just picked this one up from my LCS. I'm thinking a press would be very good for it, but there's a stain that runs through the book. It's not too bad, but it's there. Any thoughts on what this would grade at? And a guess at how high it could be with a press? Detailed shots under the spoiler tag.

theCapraAegagrus Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I might look like an insufficiently_thoughtful_person on this one but I would say a 2.5 IMO with the staining throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my head I think I'm deducting too harshly or not enough. Maybe I'm getting better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
