Kelgio82 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 A little over a year ago I asked the community about the extra staple and tape residue on this potential purchase in regards to restoration. Mixed reactions given: remove it / don't remove it. Well I finally bought the book and would love the opinion of the community on the grade. Book is complete, an extra staple (rusted) added at the bottom left because of a 1-2 cm spine split. There's tape residue on both bottom corners. Lower right edge missing a small piece. The tape on left edge wraps around to back cover. Also, the "S" in fantastic has scratched off ink. On the back cover, there is a tear on the mid outer edge. Tons of color breaks along the spine. So, what does the community think would be the grade if I sent it in as is? Thanks in advance everyone Galen130 and Bo1983 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnybooks Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 $.02 ... I would clean and press this copy and have the extra staple and tape removed by a professional. Submit the book for grading 2.5 as is maybe 3.0 after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
