Ryno1855 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Sorry reposting this (am new to chat forums) and not sure my photos are uploading. Among the small flaws there are two, what look to be production creases, on the back cover that concern me. Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 7.5 IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 A clean/press might get this 7.0...IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryno1855 Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 Just curious what the rule is regarding production related flaws (such as the creases here if they are production related). Do they impact the grading? I have been told different things regarding this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they impact the grading? I have been told different things regarding this issue. Printing creases on older books like this happen. If the book is pristine, and the ONLY flaw is a printing crease, it might keep it from obtaining a 9.8 and bump it to a 9.4-9.6 To be honest, those creases are the least of your worries. The slight spine curl, staple stress marks, top left corner wear and crease and spine ticks put you 7.0-7.5. Maybe a press ensures a 7.5 but I have a hard time seeing higher than 8.0 on it.

Ryno1855 Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 Thank you all for the assessment! I appreciate you taking the time to assess the book and provide your grade. You all helped to confirm my feeling that this book isn't worth submitting as even with a clean and press it will not be at a grade level that I would want..
