Will96 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Most of this books looks pretty tight.... especially for a dark cover.... rust free staples.... my issue is the center fold. The bottom was bent in when I received it. I carefully pulled it out, but it is creased and I'm not sure pressing would help this. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the cover isn't affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not ripped at all. Just bent. There are a few of the holes you see on the bottom of the page of some comics from the era.

With the cover not being affected by the creased page, I'm not sure if pressing will help or not. You don't see that often without the cover being affected in some way..IMO. With the rest of the book, I think a 9.0/9.2. Let's see what others have to say. Will96 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If grandma were alive, she could iron that out.... I mess her.... well that and the moonshine.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The covers give me an 8.5 feeling, and the bent page brings it down to a 7.5 IMO. Will96 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
