Hi everybody.

Query number 2

A Nice Presenting Copy But I’m Not Sure If When Pressing It I Made The Two Printing Creases In The Top Right Right Hand Corner Worse ??🤷‍♂️

Cheers,

Chris.

Edge/corner wear w/small creasing/color breaks especially along the top edge, a few color breaking scratches, minor spine wear with a few small color breaking spine ticks, cover wrap not centered at bottom half, slight foxing on rear cover.

IMO...

7.0 FINE/VERY FINE (FN/VF):  Back to Top
An above-average copy that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with outstanding eye appeal. A small accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor cover wear beginning to show, possibly including minor creases. Corners may be blunted. Inks are generally bright with a moderate reduction in reflectivity. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. Minor foxing. The slightest spine roll may be present, as well as a possible moderate color break. Staples may show some discoloration. Slight staple tears and a small accumulation of light stress lines may be present. Slight rust migration. Paper is cream to tan. Centerfold is mostly secure. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present.

Cheers for that. 
I was hoping for around a 7.0. 
it’s a lovely looking book just spoiled by my lousy photos. 🤷‍♂️

6.5/7.0

Thanks for posting.

When I first submitted these I had heard horror stories of how long the Economy tier was taking.

Happy to say it was only 39 days turnaround and that was submitting to CGC U.K. and them getting the books back to me from the U.S.

Now this one I’m really pleased about.

Had high hopes for a 7.5 so getting an 8.0 white pages blew me out of the water.
