Ian callaghan Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Looking for some opinions as it has some light discolouration patches on the front and I'm not sure how it impacts CGC grades Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scburdet Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I see a possible ink splatter under the title. I've been told these don't count against you unless you're in the +9.6 range. That discoloration along the right side of the front cover is likely going to be the issue. It's reminiscent of some GI Joe issues I posted here recently where folks cited some possible paper oxidation, but I think they were counting this as a moderate defect. I'm going to guess 8.5±0.5 depending on how the severity of that discoloration is treated. My guess is that you won't get as much leniency with a book from 1984 as one from the late 60s or early 70s.
