THE_BEYONDER Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 It looks like someone poured a cup of coffee on it Beige and Dick Pontoon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Could it be soft drink or something got spilled on the back on the book, and it's turned a bit mouldy on the front as a result? Captain lmad, steveinthecity and F For Fake 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedcake Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Sure looks like something spilled on it causing the stains Captain lmad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning55 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 "Is this black mole?" I think you mean mold. A mole is a small animal (kind of ugly) that lives underground, or a defect in the skin (might be ugly, might not).

Definitely had something spilled on it, you can see the water/moisture damage. As was said above, maybe it lead to mold. If it was a sugary soda like Big Red or something, that could be the case. steveinthecity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicginger1789 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I appreciate the original poster's efforts to fix a damaged book...please note though that it is a 2.0 grade at best no matter what you do to it at this point because of the apparent mold spot and staining. You can press and CPR that thing for hours and it won't change much else other than have it be slightly more presentable. And please, for your own sake (unless you are doing so because you love it), don't waste money grading it. Captain lmad and Cat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
