remzzed Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) Hi I'm thinking of sending this in for CGC grading but I'm on the fence. I think it's a 9.0 but appreciate your feedback since I don't really know how much grading is affected by foxing/staining on the inside pages. See last 2 pages for stains of about 1/2 size of a penny. Also I tried pressing out those indentations next to Kalista's right foot twice (image #6) @ 170 for 30 mins and kept in press overnight (total 8 hours) but they just won't go away. But no color break on those. Edited October 2, 2020 by remzzed corrected image number reference Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDarkseid1 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Was going to say 8.5-9.0, but that looks like staining from something, maybe water damage. So going to say 6.5ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffro. Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Do I see some oxidation on the staples? Looks like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it. @Jeffro.I see a some oxidation on the bottom staple. Does CGC lower grade on that? I thought it was only if staples were rusty.

Still, regardless of the staples the book isn't a 9.0 remzzed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
