Please grade this Beware #12 (crazy green lobster monster/GGA cover)! 3 3

[Point Five]

Might be one of the nicest PCHs I've owned. Book has amazing freshness with bold inks, *white* pages and interior covers and looks high grade at first glance. On closer inspection, FC has some gentle rumples and smudges (under the 'BODY SNATCHERS' type), and spine has a teensy split at the very bottom. Light wear and smudges on BC (the scratch on 'SCALP' is a production error). Thoughts? Thanks!

Pretty good shape. Pages stickling out look tan, not white though.

6.5

Thanks.  I do see what you mean re the page color but it must be a contrast trick of the scanner. Here's an interior shot:

Hey buddy.    Great cover and book.  I was thinking 6.0. Quite a bit of spine wear but presents really well.  I’d love to have it after you get it cleaned pressed and slabbed…great colors.  I submitted a bunch of pre code a few years back and was surprised how hard cgc graded them.  Pick your favorite and compare

Beautiful books, mate! 

I sometimes think there should be a 'freshness score' for GA books in addition to their grades... it's something I look for more and more, and doesn't always correspond to a book's technical grade. I agree with you guys that the Beware is a midgrade, but the colors and whites really pop much more than average.

6.5 from me

I always undergrade GA books though so would not be shocked to see 7.0-7.5

Thanks for sharing another cool book and PCH at that.
