2Sunny Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Too bad. It would be a decent book if not for the two cutouts. Ah well, c'est la vie Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tghutcn Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 This is unfortunately an incomplete copy if graded it would get either a 0.5 I believe or a qualified label Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Ouch, yeah. .5/1.0 range, or somewhere around a Qualified 4.0 (staple pop, creases & back cover chips). grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Sunny Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share Posted October 18, 2021 The bottom cover is detached from the staple. Can that be repaired and where do I find the potential value of a Qualified book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can that be repaired and where do I find the potential value of a Qualified book? The quick-and-dirty fix for a blown staple is simply to pull out your household stapler and get busy. The more elegant (but still lay-person level) fix is a three-step process: (1) remove the blown staple; (2) apply tape to the cover tear via the outside cover, inside cover, or both; and (3) re-insert the removed staple to reattach the cover to the interior. Personally, I'd leave the book as is. At this condition level, a Qualified Grade is nothing more than a "participation trophy" designed to make the book's owner feel better about his/her seriously defective item. Your book would be VG-ish if not for the multiple missing story panels. However, in actuality, your book is no better than FR. Accept reality. Hence, to estimate your book's market value, look at past sales of this issue with an identical actual grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
