Jasgut Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) Hey everyone! Could you please help me figure out what the grade for this would be? Defects I can see: -Very tiny non color breaking ticks. -Blue ink mark above the signature (Went to my LCS and the owner pulled out his copy and it has the same smudge. He concluded it was probably a printer error. But who knows 🤷♂️) -On the back bottom, there is a small nick on the red box that says NEW FROM -Middle of the back cover. Not sure it would be considered a color breaking tick or not but the tick is there -Bottom back cover. Small non color breaking ticks The inside pages are flawless Please tell me this can be at least a 9.2 lol. I feel like that nick alone gets it to 9.2. Add the rest and it may be lower. 😩 This is my beautiful baby boy that’s come with me throughout my life. Hoping for the best. I appreciate the feed back from everyone. Have a great day!

timfinz Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 9.4 w/clean and press 9.6 The stain is a factory defect, and the small bindery tear in the red square on the back cover is also a factory defect, neither of these should effect the grade. Nice book grendelbo and Jasgut 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice book 9.4 My copy doesn't have this blue smudge but this issue is full of manufacturing defects. Your copy seems to have avoided the gripper holes in the bottom of the front cover. Thanks for posting. Jasgut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
