Kawnipi Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Finally got my scanner hooked up. Hope these are better than my usually bad pictures. Thanks for the opinions on the grade. Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvelmaniac Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Slight crease on lower right corner, slight color rub at lower left corner, very slight/minute spine stress lines, "9.00" written in pencil on rear cover. IMO... 9.0 VERY FINE/NEAR MINT (VF/NM): Back to TopNearly perfect with outstanding eye appeal. A limited number of bindery/printing defects are allowed. Cover is almost flat with almost imperceptible wear. Inks are bright with slightly diminished reflectivity. An 1/8" bend is allowed if color is not broken. Corners are cut square and sharp with ever-so-slight blunting permitted but no creases. Several lightly penciled, stamped or inked arrival dates are acceptable. Very minor foxing. Spine is tight and flat. Staples may show some discoloration. Only the slightest staple tears are allowed. A very minor accumulation of stress lines may be present if they are nearly imperceptible. Paper is off-white to cream and supple. Very minor interior tears may be present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 8.0/8.5 A C&P would help IMO. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgtichy Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I would absolutely love to see pics of this book after a cleaning and pressing. I bet it'd be stunning, since I have always thought this is one of the great, great covers. You should sell it to me and I'll get it cleaned, lol.

Funnybooks Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 8.0 as is lower corners of the front wrap exhibit cb creases that may prevent a 9.0? it presents so nicely that i wouldn't be shocked at a 9.0 8.5 after C&P to be conservative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
