GawkHawk Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) Note the scuffed upper corner - most evident on the rear cover and inside cover. Following a clean and press, what would this one likely come back as? Thanks all! Edited August 10, 2023 by GawkHawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marvelmaniac Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I cannot answer your question about a clean and press since I do not partake in this service. Dented/creased top right corner (extends to pages and rear cover), slightly blunted corners, minor spine stress with a couple of spine ticks, slight staple tears, minor foxing along spine, very slight spine roll, minor to moderate foxing on rear cover. IMO, and I may be wrong, is that even with the corner issue the overall condition of the book warrants this grade. 8.0 VERY FINE (VF): Back to TopAn excellent copy with outstanding eye appeal. A limited accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Cover is relatively flat with minimal surface wear beginning to show, possibly including some minute wear at corners. Inks are generally bright with moderate to high reflectivity. An unnoticeable 1/4" crease is acceptable if color is not broken. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. Minor foxing. Spine is almost completely flat with a possible minor color break. Staples may show some discoloration. Very slight staple tears and a few almost insignificant stress lines may be present. Paper is cream to tan and supple. Centerfold is mostly secure. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I think you'd see 8.0 on this, as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
