PGM ASM #194 3 3

[heystevedave]

New to grading and trying to get an understanding of how certain defects would affect grade. This book feels like it's in great condition while holding it, but it has some noticeable defects such as stacking curl along left side, various dents / ticks along spine, scuffing or color rub in a few areas on the front cover and a small dogear on the back cover. Any insight would be appreciated!

I’m still somewhat new to grading, but with what I have seen with other books, this one is atleast 6.5 conservatively if not 7.0+

Spine ticks are mostly not color breaking(CB), but are deep creases, which is better. There is "scuffing or color rub in a few areas on the front cover and a small dogear on the back cover" Plus back is fairly soiled. I'd say as-is 6.5 tops;  but press may get rid of those deep creases and clean make the back cleaner. Then you can get a 7.5 I think.
