bapowell Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) Hi all, I'm hoping to get some opinions on this one. It's a nice copy, crisp and tight. Main issue is with the "readers crease" running halfway down the spine. Thanks for looking! Edited November 7, 2021 by bapowell Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 This is tough because it looks like a 7.0 but I suspect the combination of crease and wear around the bottom staple (both likely caused by the same lazy habit of folding the cover around) will drop it a full grade. This book doesn't turn up in high grade that often from my experience and yours is a handsome copy. Last of the Steranko covers and clearly Dali inspired.

Bayowolf Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Should it be dinged for the FC roll a bit to the back? If so 6.5 otherwise 7.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzutak Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 That 7" long color break is not something I allow in a FN or better book. Put me in the 5.5 FN- camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 The roll can be pressed out, but it could make the ink breakage worse. 6.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candygramformongo Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 6.0 for me. What a killer cover! Thanks for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
