scburdet Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Very nice. Do I see a chip out of the top edge on the back and some tearing around the bottom staple? My first though was the front could be in the 7.5/7.0 range with the slight creasing & rounded corners. Maybe down to 6.5/6.0 with the back cover, but my calibration on GA grading is terrible. In my limited recent experience, they often come back higher than I expect. Odda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other consideration, and it is tough to tell without having the book in hand, but it seems the front cover might be a bit faded. Nonetheless, even with the accumulation of minor defects I could see this grade as a 6.0 (Fine) or 6.5 (Fine +) or even higher. To the original poster, if you do submit it, please let us know what it comes back as, thanks. Odda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being new to sending golden age books in, I’m not really sure about having having it cleaned and pressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are ..it seems like a lot of them....is this unusual ? I don't recall seeing any scuff marks on any of the slabs I have got back from CGC.....Even though it's a small amount I have slabbed. No, there are no scuffs. Not sure why that showed up that way in the pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
