Jcunha Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) Hey there, just getting back into collecting after a 20 year hiatus (my first post here). I've had this GL #89 since '97 and thinking of having it slabbed and graded. The book looks great but there are a few small issues. Paper extends out from cover on upper right corner (not sure what this is called). There is a crease on back lower left corner and a couple of spots on mid/ upper right side of back cover. There is also a pressure crease (or line) on the front cover just above the "save" that I can't pick up in a photo. Anyway, 2 questions: 1): Would there be any reason to press this issue? 2): What do you think the grade is? Thank you in advance--JC Edited May 29, 2022 by Jcunha grendelbo and Galen130 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendelbo Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 We're not seeing the bottom corner of the spine - front or back cover - in any pics. Got them? Jcunha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcunha Posted May 30, 2022 Author Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) A couple of shots of the lower spine and some other pics. Thanks so much for taking a look--JC Edited May 30, 2022 by Jcunha grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) 8.0 It's a great copy. Seems you gotta C&P before submitting nowadays. I see no reason for it not to get an 8.5/9.0 afterward. Thanks for sharing. Edited May 30, 2022 by grendelbo Jcunha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcunha Posted May 30, 2022 Author Share Posted May 30, 2022 Appreciate the insight. I'll post this once C&P and grading is done...in 375 days or whenever that might be...Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff2099 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Agreed on 8.0/8.5. "extending past the line" probably you're referring to a slight miswrap, not an issue for grading at below a 9.9 (considered a manufacturing defect). As for if it's worth it, go collect says FMV of an 8.5 is $95 USD. (but prices fluxate all the time) Jcunha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
