Galen130 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 You need to read the thread rules. One book at a time. At least you got the correct amount...three per day. Deadpoolica and Mars76 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change the title of this thread to one book you'd like graded, then delete the pics for the other two. Create new individual posts for those two.

You're potentially dealing with a thousand dollar book. I'd almost advise wearing cloth gloves to handle it. Also, close up shots of the corners are far more helpful as it allows people to see creases and ticks. Here's one such example of what i mean. You'll want to do the same for all 4 corners, front and back. The more, detailed shots, the better idea people will have. Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been happening the last couple days. You may want to just type CLOSED in the beginning of the title, then start over. Sorry about that...unless someone else here knows something I don't. It's highly possible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about limiting potential damage to the books. When it comes to high value books such as this, you really want to do whatever you can to preserve it. Just looking out for you is all.

Once you identify which are the key books, and have a general idea of the grade/condition, you can go to eBay completed sales and figure out a range of values. Any premium value assigned to first appearances is already baked into the price by the market. Any further upward deviation in the sales price on your part is purely speculative.

It’s his book, I think we should just help him with grading and get off the high horse. A curl to show a pic and not wearing gloves is just fine imo.
