Badlands Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Very light wear, decent gloss. MVS intact. The red on the front cover has turned a light orange from fading and some spots lower edge of back cover. Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayowolf Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Spine wear, blunted corners, lots of spotting bottom of BC, a few on top. Also , not sure but staples look tarnished . 7.0 at best. Badlands 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galen130 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Looks to be foxing on the BC…6.0-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicginger1789 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I will be harsher on it and say 5.5, maybe even 5.0. The staples in center appear rusted? Is that the case? If so definitely closer to 5.0. The fading is uniform and I have seen flawless books with such fade hit 7.0-7.5. Add on the foxing and other minor wear and that is why I am lower here.

Mr. Zipper Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Looks to be around a 6.5 structurally, but I am unclear how the UV fading will affect it. Is this level of fading allowed on a 6.5 book, or does it knock it down from there? Frankly, there was a time I would call any book with significant fading in the VG range, but that may be more of an old school Overstreet guideline.

TC33 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 5.5 as is, could be perhaps a max of 6.5 with a very nice C&P which it would really benefit from. I have seen fading like this in the FN ranges, so that should not drag it down from where it already is. Had it been otherwise VF range I could see it dragging it down to FN range, but it's not so you should be good in that 5.5 and up area.

Februus Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Rust migration I’m gonna go 5.5. Looks ok but I know they don’t let that slide Badlands 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
