Pukie Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Hello and thank you for your help grading this book. There is a big piece out of an interior story page. Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 2.0, maybe 2.5. If that piece was out of the cover, I think it goes at least a grade or more lower. It seems like there's a modest allowance for interior pieces missing, but the rest of the book has some significant wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzutak Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 33% missing from an interior leaf that has story panels on each side (and which therefore seriously affects the readability of that story)? Here's what I know for sure: (1) the book would be deemed INCOMPLETE; and (2) the book would receive a Universal Grade. The only thing I'm uncertain about is will that grade be a 0.5 PR or a 1.0 FR? There are plenty of examples to support each grade; however, if I had to pick one, I'd go with 0.5 PR. grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primetime Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 POOR (.5) since it has story that is affected....Looks like an apparent 3.5 - 4.0, otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pukie Posted September 27, 2022 Author Share Posted September 27, 2022 The Legion story is complete. Better to have the interior story page piece out of the non-significant back up story....? Although this does not change the grade, maybe a buyer would see more value in this book compared to other .5's...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with the guys that this is a 0.5 collectors rather have this than a completely incomplete copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
