marvelmaniac Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I cannot tell what is going on with the top right corner, are all of the pages cut like that or only the front cover? The book presents very well, all I see other than the miscut top right corner are the numerous spine creases w/color break. IMO I do not think the book will make a FN/VF 7.0 but should be at least a FN+ 6.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 100% bat flavor, always insist on real bat. Any good bat butcher will trim it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziazmere1 Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) Thank you for taking the time to look over the book. Hopefully others can also weigh-in.

I have seen this before with books for this era. There are several spine ticks with color breaks, I wish there were less. The light refractions makes some of those ticks appear to be color breaks. There are also several bends that are hard to see in the images. Hopefully those will press out. On 11/18/2019 at 12:42 PM, Deadpoolica said: NG Could you please provide more info around your NG.

There is fraying/wear on the bottom right corner. I am not saying it was not trimmed as I am definitely not an expert on identify trimming. Could you please provide more details on your thoughts for the book being trimmed. I do not see any visible color variation on the internal page edges. Books of this era tend to be miss aligned, miss wrapped and miss cut at the press and have other various production flaws. The corner looks very similar to several other CGC Blue and Yellow labels I have. Edited November 24, 2019 by Ziazmere1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
