Pete J. Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Hi all, thoughts on where this might grade? It's unpressed from my collection from the '70's. Thanks for having a look! Artifiction and Galen130 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvelmaniac Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Edge/corner wear w/slight creasing and color breaks, slight chipping on top edge, minor to moderate spine stress w/color breaks, discolored staples, color rub on front cover. IMO... 6.5 FINE+ (FN+): Back to Top Fits the criteria for Fine but with an additional virtue or small accumulation of virtues that improves the book's appearance by a perceptible amount. 6.0 FINE (FN): Back to Top An above-average copy that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with no significant creasing or other serious defects. Some accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor cover wear apparent, with minor to moderate creases. Inks show a significant reduction in reflectivity. Blunted corners are more common, as is minor staining, soiling, discoloration, and/or foxing. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. A minor spine roll is allowed. There can also be a 1/4" spine split or severe color break. Staples may show minor discoloration. Minor staple tears and a few slight stress lines may be present, as well as minor rust migration. Paper is tan to brown and fairly supple with no signs of brittleness. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present. Centerfold may be loose.

Geoff2099 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) Pretty! 6.5/7.0 in my opinion. I just love how you can see the art start to transition from 60s to 70s style. edit: took a closer look at that second photo - changing answer to 6.0/6.5 possible Edited April 27, 2022 by Geoff2099 Pete J. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
