Badlands Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Obvious (and not so obvious) negatives: chip lower right FC and chip lower right BC. Chipping along top edge, cover detached and spine in poor condition. Positives: nice color, pages are complete and supple. Thinking "maybe" a 2.0...what say you?

jou13 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 All in all, no higher than a 2.0 and possibility of a 1.8 with various pieces missing, top right FC tear(still hanging on) and detached cover. Badlands 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lions Den Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I'm sorry to say this, but from what I've seen, a detached cover with a split spine usually results in a 1.0... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combined with the rest of the ample defect present here overall, yes. +1 Badlands 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wipple Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I will go 1.5 due to the positives you mentioned. One of my favorite books in the hobby. Congrats Badlands 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadroch Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 A book like this doesn't need grading. It's in demand so just price it aggressively, provide a lot of photos and let the potential buyers call it. I don't think it is better than a 2.0 structurally, but would price it much higher.

gadzukes Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I see it as a nice looking 1.5 Badlands 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCOComics Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I'll preface this by saying I'm much less experienced than many of the folks who have already weighed in. And I tend to over grade only to experience consistent disappointment when my books come back.. Call it perpetual optimism. That said, I think it's a 2.0. It presents really well and the obvious major detractors are the spine and the missing piece. I'm looking to buy a 2.0 locally and yours presents much nicer. It's a highly desirable copy because it will be "affordable", complete and looks great. Badlands 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 1.5 IMO. Badlands 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
