Emmkaaay Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I'm wading into selling books on Ebay for the first time and want to check myself on the grade before I post. Thanks for the help!! (Also would love to hear recommendations on the standard for how many of these photos to include!) Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Februus Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I’d say it’s a 6.0 .. looks like some kind of indentations on the cover. Maybe an optical illusion - You have a good selection of photos for the book, the more the better. I generally like a pic of the centerfold so I can see how well it’s attached and the condition of the staples if I’m buying. Emmkaaay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Elf Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 The worst features I'm seeing are the deeply impacted top left corner (front; top right back) and the two 1/4" tears. It's got a slight miswrap/spine roll, light spine ticking, and a little edge soiling. I think you'd see books like this advertised as "F/VF" pretty frequently; I don't think anyone could be mad at you if you called it a 6.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, to me the right side of cover looks weird as well for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Fine range, 6.0-6.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I'm with the rest - 6.0/6.5. I occasionally buy from eBay and the more pictures the better. I'm not a seller but were I to list a book, I'm not sure if I'd give a grade. I'd let the pictures speak for themselves and let the buyer determine it's condition. I would price it according to my opinion though. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 6.0 as well. Also, you could try selling here on the boards. Spend more time getting to know the threads and get yourself ‘out there’. It’s a smaller community, but less hassle. IMO. Welcome to the boards!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
