joeypost Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 How brittle is the cover/pages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marf Posted January 24, 2023 Author Share Posted January 24, 2023 It felt brittle and looks brittle so its quite brittle. From CGC on a brittle interior: This page designation refers strictly to the compromised structural integrity of the interior paper, which exhibits either heavy multiple spine splits, corner and edge chipping, or both. In some cases pages can appear off-white or white, but suffer from an isolated area of brittleness along the spine that has caused heavy splitting. Brittle pages are sometimes impossible to restore because of their fragile nature. The highest grade allowed for brittle interior pages is 3.5. the cover/pages are attached although i did not flip through the pages...I'll let CGC do that. Is this a clean and press candidate?

Captain Crash Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 1.0 for me, I don’t think the condition quite warrants hammering it down to a .5 but that’s just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 As long as it is complete, it would be a 1.0-1.5 If brittle, I doubt a presser with much worth would touch it for fear of hurting it. If they felt the paper was strong enough, maaaybe you could get it aligned a little nicer but again, someone experienced should be making that decision.

Nilo2 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 1.0 sadly. There are supposedly some techniques for treating brittle paper that restores suppleness and flexibility. Might be worth asking a pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) 1.5 with that accumulation of flaws & damage. I don't see this surviving a C&P frankly. Edited January 25, 2023 by LowGradeBronze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendelbo Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 1.5 A press would make it more presentable but that's it and ain't no way I'd do that if the book was mine. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
