Vixom Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I would simply sell either one of those copies and find a 5.5 to 7.0 that looks a lot nicer. The Lions Den and Darkseid of the Moon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more of the spine that's split, the lower the grade will go. But FWIW, I'm not a big fan of stains, either...it looks like they may go through the whole book...
