ARyan_ Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) Not the best pictures in hindsight, but wondering how much the cover tracing will knock the grade? Edited January 21, 2023 by ARyan_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Hmm, tough one. A lot of nice qualities but the inking does detract, and the impressions are visible on the inside cover. I'll throw out a guess of 3.5, but I could see a case for 4.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 My impression (no pun intended) is that someone traced this on a separate sheet of paper (i.e. there's no additional ink on the cover)? If it's just indentions, maybe you can improve things with a press, but those seem too deep to be removed to an untrained eye. I'll say 4.0 with a chance at 4.5 if the press worked better than we have an right to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
