alhay6610 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Hi there, I'm fairly new to grading so would really appreciate any input on how this would grade - in particular, how much of an impact does the foxing have? Many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The structural wear merits a grade of about 5.0 VG/FN. Add in the foxing-related staining/yellowing, and I believe this one will grade out at about 4.0 VG. One man's opinion, naturally.

LowGradeBronze Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Can't see this grading higher than 3.0 Welcome to the boards BTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBTOTHEC Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I'm at 4.0 with this one. It's a pretty sharp cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLG Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 This book is similar to an ASM #50 I sent in. 4.0 was the grade. Best of luck to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
