scburdet Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 2.0--maybe 2.5 with a GA allowance. If it wasn't GA, I'd go 1.8. arDeaton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolidShredder Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 1.8 I'd say. I don't see it getting above a 2.0. arDeaton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of the blackest and heaviest "grease pencil" markings I've ever seen. Are you sure it wasn't written with a permanent marker? Any bleed-thru to the inside front cover? grendelbo, arDeaton and buttock 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a seller wrote a price in grease pencil then someone wrote a different price over it with a felt tip marker. Yeesh. Poor book. arDeaton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I consigned it along with #114 and #115 amongst other golden age books. The others are supposed to go up for auction in a couple months. thewritestuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
