Zegeroth Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Hello, Just got one of the key’s I’ve been longing for. I’ve cleaned this up a bit. Let me know what you think? Alien Costume and Galen130 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zegeroth Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 5.5 is where I’m at. What’s pulling it below 6 to you guys? Wondering if I should try 1 more press on the spine or if color/right corner is the pull back. grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if I should try 1 more press on the spine or if color/right corner is the pull back. Moderate general wear has me at VG-/FN. The top right corner of the front cover looks to have some discoloration and the edges show age. The spine likely could be pressed out more and make the difference between 5.5/6.0. At CGC though that difference could also be decided by whether or not the grader had 2 or 3 shots of espresso in their Starbucks that morning.

shadroch Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I want to say 6.0, but it is just shy, imho. 5.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zegeroth Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 When I look at graded examples of this book, it throws me off. The combination of the water artwork and aging is very tough. Take a look at this 8.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rexinnih Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 My copy is 5.5 but it's mainly back damage bringing it down. That lower right corner is going to bring it down also. I would be optimistic for a 6.0 after pressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southern cross Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I'm thinking a 6.0 but wouldn't be surprised if it got a 5.5. And wouldn't be surprised if it got a 6.0 after a pressing. Nice pick up 👍 The blues on that cover are quite nice. This book is notorious for the blue to fade out and browning on the edges. I found my blue cover cover copy over a decade ago before the price rise. grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
