grendelbo Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I just got this in. First purchase of the year. Awesome cover, no? A Bronze Age best. Described as "high grade." Not quite. Pics show the cover flaws including one dent. There's two interior consecutive page tears measuring about 2" apiece. Thanks for the opinions. I'll post my grade later.

Tghutcn Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I’d say a 5.5 from the interior pages rip unfortunately. It presents nicely on the front and it’s a cool cover grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnybooks Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 5.0 as is maybe a slight bump to 6.0 with a C&P I would be shocked with the tears if it grades higher grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Thanks for the replies. In hand I was going to call the book a 6.5. 7.0-ish before the interior tears, slight deduction with them. I like 6.0 though. I posted because of those tears and wanting opinions as to their effect on a grade. IMO, they'd downgrade a NM or VF book into the FN range. Once within the FN range they're acceptable (or at least I wouldn't downgrade it to VG). Tghutcn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
