Surfer66 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Thank you for your help grading this FF #112. Flat with bold colors. But significant stain, rusted staples migrating to paper and a hanging chad of a chip or miss-cut on the back bottom corner. Can something be done to prevent further rust migration to the paper? And to prevent the staple rust from getting worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 4.5±0.5. I would imagine keeping it in a humidity free environment would put a stop to further migration. Kind of hard to stop iron from oxidizing once it starts though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars76 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Those are two big hits with that stain and tear. Still a good looking book, 4.5-5.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendelbo Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 3.5, maybe 4.0. That stain is gnarly. No is the answer to your other questions. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
