ninanina Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 HI guys. Flaws include a tiny dent on right side just beside "R" in Surfer, small almost imperceptible wear at Staples with a tiny imperfection lower left corner on front cover. Back cover is immaculate so I didn't bother scanning it. Hoping that's enough for some opinions. Greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvelmaniac Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Blunted corners, slight edge wear, color breaking crease at lower left corner, slight spine stress w/color break, small ding on outer edge by the "R" in "Surfer", slight foxing/staining as seen in the price box. I would like to see pics of the square bound spine from the side, inside front cover/splash page and rear cover. Assigning a grade with only seeing the from cover and the defects listed above, IMO... 7.5 VERY FINE- (VF-): Back to Top Fits the criteria for Very Fine but with an additional defect or small accumulation of defects that detracts from the book's appearance by a perceptible amount. 7.0 FINE/VERY FINE (FN/VF): Back to Top An above-average copy that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with outstanding eye appeal. A small accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor cover wear beginning to show, possibly including minor creases. Corners may be blunted. Inks are generally bright with a moderate reduction in reflectivity. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. Minor foxing. The slightest spine roll may be present, as well as a possible moderate color break. Staples may show some discoloration. Slight staple tears and a small accumulation of light stress lines may be present. Slight rust migration. Paper is cream to tan. Centerfold is mostly secure. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank the Dog Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 (edited) From what I can see, I’m at a solid 8.0 right now. Seeing the spine and rear cover wouldn’t hurt. Looks like a really nice wrap on this copy which is a big plus too. It might bump to an 8.5 on a good day and possibly with a light press.
