marvelmaniac Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Moderate edge/corner wear w/color breaking creases, severe spine split (with tape, completely split?), rusted staples, spine roll/fanned pages, moderate foxing on rear cover. Is the cover completely detached, are any pages/centerfold detached? IMO... 1.5 FAIR/GOOD (FR/GD): Back to TopShows substantial to heavy wear. Books in this grade are commonly creased, scuffed, abraded, soiled, and possibly unattractive, but still generally readable. Cover shows considerable wear and may be detached. Almost no cover reflectivity remaining. Book-length creases, tears and folds may be present. Rounded corners are increasingly common. Soiling, staining, discoloration and foxing is generally present. Up to 1/10 of the back cover may be missing. Tape and other forms of amateur repair are increasingly common in Silver Age and older books. Spine roll is common. May have a spine split between 2" and 2/3 the length of the book. Staples may be degraded, replaced or missing. Staple tears and stress lines are common, as well as rust migration. Paper is brown and may show brittleness around the edges. Acidic odor may be present. Centerfold may be loose or detached. Interior tears are common.

scburdet Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 It looks like a fair amount of paper loss along the spine. Hard to crack a 2.0 with significant structural damage. I imagine this one is holding together by a thread if it's actually not detached in places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
