Bayowolf Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Considering buying this, but not sure it deserves the grade listed. A little help from my friends? Thanks Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjamminT Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 From what i can see - solid 4.0, maybe a 4.5. Plenty of spine wear and color breaks. Sunken staple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Ries Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I might go 5.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamLunt Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Could get a 5.0 I'm curious what grade it's advertised at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicginger1789 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 5.0 from me. Might get a 5.5 but I don’t see any higher and lower is too harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayowolf Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 Okay got enough to tell you..didn't want to bias Advertised as a 6.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I think the 4s are probably too low here; it's basically a nice-looking book. I could see 5.5 here. I hate to say it, but I wonder if the top edge overhang could have been trimmed. It looks super sharp and exactly parallel with the interior pages, and there's a few tiny tufts of paper sticking up.

Albert Thurgood Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I would say 5 and could go to 5.5. The seller is optimistic thinking it's a 6. I do know it looks much better than my well-read copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in today’s world, even the impossible is proving to be possible. 5.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fast eddie Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I'm thinking 5.0,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayowolf Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 So, I'll think I will pass. I already have a lowly 1.8/2.0 (as graded here earlier, and about what I thought), so I'll wait for a better opportunity. 22 hours ago, BenjamminT said: From what i can see - solid 4.0, maybe a 4.5. Plenty of spine wear and color breaks. Sunken staple. Did not notice the sunken staple, that is already damaging spine and I assume has reduced the binding of cover to the pages. Thanks to all ,I appreciate the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen much worse spine and cover wear on 4s..Is it the sunken staple? Just trying to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
