davidpg Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Well this should be a fun one. I got this book here on these very boards 15 years ago or so, and I kinda forgot I had it! It's so solid and nice...though it looks like at some point sine 1942 someone drew moustaches and beards in the guys on the cover, and someone has removed the ink (as well as some writing on the lower right side of the cover). Wondering what the concensus on the grade would be with you guys! Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThothAmon Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 3.5. Not sure how the ink removal process is treated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically it should grade higher actually, especially if this book could get a GA bump. Trying to figure out the ink situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galen130 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I’m going to give it the bump…4.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VitoCo1972 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I am thinking 3.0. I submitted this book 2 months ago and it was a 4.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzutak Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Put me down for a Restored (Purple Label) Grade of Apparent 3.5 (C-3). Quality = Poor; Quantity = Moderate. grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality = Poor; Quantity = Moderate. I had considered a purple label as well though the unsightly scraping on a GA book like this hopefully would garner a blue label. Another reason I posted this book here, to see what the other experts thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
