Galen130 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Okay, gang...this is my last PGM for a while. It's the last one from my current batch of SA/BA/CA books that I'm setting aside to be graded by CGC...maybe. The crease you see through the upper right hand corner of the book can be cleaned on the back, but the front shows wear. It will be pressed to flatten that corner. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!!! Again, I believe the original grade estimate is off. I'll share that once a handful of ya'll give your estimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 As is, I'm thinking 5.5. I think with a press and good cleaning it would go up a full grade, maybe even to 7.0. Thanks for sharing. Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHASEnBLUE Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Great book! Imagining a C&P as I looked at the photos, I think 6.0/6.5 is a possibility. I'm not sure with the chipping on the bottom front cover if 7.0 is likely. Can't wait to see it slabbed! Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galen130 Posted June 17, 2021 Author Share Posted June 17, 2021 So, the estimated grade given by the seller was an 8.5. I knew it wasn't, but I got the book pretty cheap. Some of the sellers estimates were way off, but I got the gems I wanted out of that batch without taking a huge monetary hit. That seller should spend more time in these threads, to improve their grading skills. grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHASEnBLUE Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) I definitely agree with you that 8.5 is off. Most of us will grade conservatively if anything, I know I often do, but I find 8.5 out of reach. I hope I'm wrong if you get it graded but would be really confused if that were the case Edited June 19, 2021 by CHASEnBLUE Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
