Surfer66 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Hello and thank you for your help grading my Hopalong Cassidy #1 please. The centerfold plus 2 more layers of paging is loose form the center staple. Total 3 layers of paging loose from centerfold. Interesting these loose pages because they are being held together and the bottom edges of a couple are shorter like maybe they have been cut? I was also told that they did some strange things when making books that long ago so I don't know if this is natural or if it has been worked on somewhere down the line? And it looks like a piece of tape was removed or fell off at the bottom spine corner. I tried to get better/ natural lighting from a window for these pictures.

scburdet Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 this might be one of those green vs. blue situations if it is better graded minus the structural issues. I think the spine issues (pieces missing?), color breaking creases and discoloration would put this around a 3.5±0.5 universal. Then do the loose pages knock it down a grade, or you land at the higher grade with a green label & notes. grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
