PGM Daredevil #49 3 3

The book has great color and gloss. Corners are sharp. Main flaw which I have no idea how to account for, is an impact mark at the top of the book. It caused about a 3/8" tear on the front and back cover. It goes all the way thru the book to the inner pages but the tears are smaller. Any guesses? Without this main flaw I'm at 9.0 but how far do you knock it down???

Size matters.

IMO, I'd deduct -1.5 for a half-inch tear on an otherwise near-flawless book. So a NM 9.6/9.8 would drop to the 8.5 range. This book has two tears each close to that size so I'll double that deduction.

IMO, at 7.0, the interior tears wouldn't really matter to the grade and all other flaws of the book, including the creasing and micro-tears on the back cover that also resulted from the impact, would be acceptable in this range.

I'll call this a 7.5 though because it's attributes - nice gloss, corners, spine, whites, etc - give the book an appealing presentation.

Thanks for sharing and letting us take a gander. Pretty book and it's also a great learning example. I'm interested in what others will say.
