scburdet Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) I wavered between a couple of books with unusual issues before landing on this one. As square bound books go, it looks nice in hand and it's not falling apart. One specific defect that's not that common (at least for me), is an apparent miscut that's particular noticeable across the top of the front cover. That light thin triangle that starts above the dash between super & heroes, is just printed paper that does not match the actual color scheme.

There doesn't seem to be too many defects. At least a 6.0,maybe 6.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think every square bound book that is still complete and held together by the original binding should start at 9.0. Defects to the rest of the book be damned. fast eddie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the bottom corners of the book are what puts me off a higher grade,,,,,, and the outside edge has quite a bit of wear,,,,,,, plus the funny mis-cut,,,,,,, I just don't think it would receive a higher grade than MAYBE a 5.0,,,,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scburdet Posted July 21 Author Share Posted July 21 Another one I hoped would squeak 1 grade better, but a little too many different things going on. Maybe the small tear was the difference between a 6.5 & 7.0. grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
