Bjorne Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Hello, I am curious how badly the mark in the lower left corner will effect the grade, and what the overall grade might be. I am assisting an elderly gentleman sell some of his books and I am attempting to see if some of them would benefit a trip to CCS and CGC. Thanks In Advance, John Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 4.5/5.0 Without that defect, which looks like a tape pull, I would've given the book about a 5.5. A clean and press should bump the book up one grade. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Februus Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Agreed 5.0 is prob tops tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverage12c Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I feel like the tape pull will prevent this one from reaching 5.0. With a little TLC, it can be improved to a 4.5 IMO. Thanks for sharing Februus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galen130 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 That spot looks like tape pull, but the texture of it makes it look like moisture damage. 4.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Overall I'm at 3.5 when you add in all the small defects, the worst for me being the top staple tear (or has it popped?) as shown with back cover open. I can forgive the tape pull against that pale cover. I'd still be glad to own that copy, as it presents very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
