Based on what I am seeing in the grading contest, this could be a 6.5. :eek:

I'd call it a 5.0.  4.0/4.5 seems a bit harsh IMO. 

I was thinking 5.0-5.5 on the high end.

5.0

not convinced C&P changes the grade

Cleaning the back cover is a 1/2 grade bump all by itself.  CGC harshly grades that much dirt (look at the spine) not to mention the pencil mark near the corner showing a price of $3.75.  1/2 grade might be all it gets even with a nice press, but its at least getting some bump and it would present a lot nicer to boot.

that's fair...5.5 after C&P.

it's just my unscientific feeling that mid-grade books can be the toughest to bump...with .5's and 9.8's aside

Will CCS remove the pencil mark?
