grendelbo Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Nice looking copy. The bottom staple is misaligned and looks like it resulted in a reader's crease which rubs color at some points along the spine. Slight creasing with color-break right edge of the front cover. Maybe slight tanning. Great eye appeal so 7.0. Maybe +0.5. (By the way it looks like you have a question mark shaped artifact on your scanner. It shows on both covers.)

ninanina Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 Sorry, first time doing this and I just read the instructions where they encourage you to talk a bit about the book. Hey, thanks very much for the input. You made me look at it again and please be advised there is no reader's crease of any kind as a result of the staple being misaligned. However, I did see the color breaking crease along the right side in the middle, about 3/4" long. Very slight, but it's there and it's something I never noticed before, so thanks very much for pointing it out. Comic lies perfectly flat with clean edges all the way around...except for the right side as you already indicated. And yes, there is some tanning on the back cover but none on the front. Corners are sharp. Any upgrade from the 7.0 now that you know there's no reader's crease? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 It's very nice. Some wear and color rub (unless it's lighting). 7.5/8.0 if no creasing. IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sevans1979 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) Could just be the scan but the bottom spine corner looked a tad blunted. Still a sweet condition book. 8.0/8.5 IMO.

Zegeroth Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 7.0. The tanning of the back cover pulls this lower for me. I want to see the inside of the covers and pages. Also a date stamp on the front cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, that's gonna cost you. I could see this coming back anywhere between 7.0 and 8.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
