scburdet Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I had a couple key sword-and-sandal books I dabbled with the idea of sending to the Roy Thomas signing, but ultimately skipped b/c the value/demand for these doesn't seem quite high enough to justify the cost. Kind of regretting that on a few of them b/c it would just be a cool thing to have. I share these from time to time, so I can make a call if there's another RT signing opportunity.

marvelmaniac Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Slightly blunted corners with some color rub, slight edge wear with color rub, minor staple tears at top staple. IMO... 9.0 VERY FINE/NEAR MINT (VF/NM): Back to TopNearly perfect with outstanding eye appeal. A limited number of bindery/printing defects are allowed. Cover is almost flat with almost imperceptible wear. Inks are bright with slightly diminished reflectivity. An 1/8" bend is allowed if color is not broken. Corners are cut square and sharp with ever-so-slight blunting permitted but no creases. Several lightly penciled, stamped or inked arrival dates are acceptable. Very minor foxing. Spine is tight and flat. Staples may show some discoloration. Only the slightest staple tears are allowed. A very minor accumulation of stress lines may be present if they are nearly imperceptible. Paper is off-white to cream and supple. Very minor interior tears may be present. scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
