Zegeroth Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) I’m new getting in to this and have hit these square bound books hard on my grading. I’d like to check what I think based on this comic. This comic has a 1/2” spine split at the top and 1/4” split at the bottom. Edit: fixed topic name, and added better light back cover. Edited March 23, 2021 by Zegeroth More clarity to title. Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zegeroth Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 I was looking at the pic and wondering about the spot on the back cover, lower left. It was some crud that game right off. Also my lighting is a bit dark, the pages are closer to cream than tan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zegeroth Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 Just looking for a grade? Curious how hard the spine tears hurt it. I’m thinking 4.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to clarify your request. A clean/press can help here, especially with the stain and spine roll. As for the splits in the glued spine....that’s a new one for me. I haven’t seen that myself, physically, so I’m hoping my fellow boardies can help out. I don’t know if a press is a good idea or not with the glue...but at the same time, I’m guessing these splits are the same as stapled spine splits. I’ll reserve an estimate until we get some expert enlightenment. Zegeroth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
