How does tanning effect the grade? 3 3

[Brucescave]

Looking to see what grade and why you think it is that grade? The tanning throws me off. Not sure how much the little rip in the back effects it as well. But over all, I think it's in great shape. The cover looks pretty amazing. It's really just the tanning that throws me off.

Currently, CGC is coming down hard on discoloration from what I've seen and heard. This looks pretty severe on the cover. Without tanning and pressed, you might be looking at 6.5±0.5, but I would subtract several grades just for the tanning. I'd be around a 4.5 and worried they'd go lower.

Agreed, 4.5 feels about right. The inside covers are looking pretty toasty, i.e. the issue is maybe a bit more structural than just surface discoloration.

Pretty severe tanning from what I can tell...likely wouldn't get higher than a 5.0 no matter how nice the rest of it is. And the edges appear to be slightly brittle---handle this one very carefully...
