What grade would it be if the staples were not messed up with? around 9.0? Could i presume that grad is reduced around 1.5+/- when messed up as this one. Because i have almost 1/3 of my collection (at least 1000 books) messed up like this. Had too much free time at that time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tng123 Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) On 2/2/2022 at 10:49 AM, Every Day A Story said: How did this happen? Well, i remember sometime around the end of 80s and beginning of 90s, Marvel sometime used large sharp staples on some books, and a few time when i read the books, the spines got ripped off. Then i got some "great" idea of replacing them with some fine normal staples. Also planning to get them bound to books so it should be fine i thought :). But thing got out of hand, couldnt afford to get too many to get bound and sometime some # missing. (costed almost 100us ea. book of 25issues). The worst thing was i started with almost all of my favorite titles at the time (all spider books, x-books, avengers etc.) not many expensive book, but the shear volume Edited February 2, 2022 by tng123 not need picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
