Mars76 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Won this a couple weeks back. This is a book I've been wanting but haven't been actively looking for because most copies above mid-grade are a bit more than I'm willing to pay. Anywho, I bet $2 dollars more than the highest bidder and actually won😁. The main defects with this book are along the spine and the creasing along the right edge of the URFC. There's a little bit of overhang but I'm pretty sure that can be pressed out. All replies are appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 6.0/6.5 depending on how the color rub along the spine looks IRL. Mars76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchunn3 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Is the spine split? Why can't you see the centerfold top staple? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be white, but it's brown. If the top staple is good, is the bottom staple pulled through the centerfold? Mars76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing the book is not open at the centre fold. The page count on the book is 36 and that page is only number 11 accordning to the picture. I'm also thinking the UFRC is looking like the early stages of Marvel chipping. It may not effect the grade. I was thinking more likely 8.5 Edited March 28, 2023 by timfinz Mars76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Pontoon Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 (edited) The top staple can't be seen because as timfinz thought, the book is not open at the centerfold. The centerfold is the next page over. I don't see any issues with the staples. I see both top and bottom staples in the pictures, they don't appear damaged and haven't popped or pulled through.
