Snowdon Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) Found a personal grail today: I think the staining can be removed. Thank god, it's a black cover. Edited June 17, 2023 by Snowdon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I'll be interested to see if stain removal is successful. That's a lot of staining, but you're right that the black cover does a decent job of hiding it. Looks like some staining of the inside pages, which I don't think is as cleanable. I'm going to say 3.5/4.0 with the staining & cross my fingers for you on getting the stains removed. In the absence of staining, I could see 5.5/6.0 with the color breaking defects, where the black definitely doesn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 The staining takes it all the way down to a 2.5 or 3.0 tops. Congrats on snagging this book, a true grail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars76 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 3.0 because of the staining, other than that the book looks great. Congrats, that's big addition to any collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 2.0/2.5 Maybe it could be C&P for 4.0/4.5? Congratulations all the same. It'll display very nicely. Be sure to post your membership to the club. Thanks for sharing. Snowdon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
