Ryals Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Hi, Thank you for any help with a grade. Picked this up a couple weeks ago. I want know what others think about the possible grade. Hoping I did well . The back does seem a bit darker in person compared to scans. I would say the pages inside are off white to white. Thanks!

Galen130 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Maybe 6.5 with clean/press. 5.5/6.0 as is… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funnybooks Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 6.0 as is 6.5 after C&P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zegeroth Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 4.5, everyone on this thread has missed the crease running from top mid to right edge. That crease firmly locks this grade in the 4s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candygramformongo Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Interesting, that crease doesn't bring it down that far for me. Still a solid 5.5 in my eyes, maybe even 6.0. Back cover looks really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some pictures of the back cover will show it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I saw it but still not sure I see it getting all the way down to the 4.5 range, that seems awfully harsh. @Ryals you're gonna have to submit this one and update us in 9 months when you get it back so we can settle this!

That crease firmly locks this grade in the 4s. You may be correct, but, I think everyone noticed the creases as they are quite evident. Even with the creases, 4.5 seems harsh. The book appears very much to be in the "fine" minus range as opposed to the "good" plus range imho. Just some examples from a quick search on ebay...the grade is likely somewhere in between at around 5.5? enjoying the debate grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zegeroth Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 As I was reviewing this, I was at a 6.5 before I saw that crease. There’s the spine hits, and lower right corner that is in addition to the long crease and the shorter one above it. If it were just the long crease, sure, I can go higher. I don’t believe that is the case here. I’m at 4.5 on this one. On 8/22/2021 at 7:14 AM, Funnybooks said: You may be correct, but, I think everyone noticed the creases as they are quite evident.
