1955 Atlas Black Knight #1 1 1

[bikesnbuses]

I got this book in a collection of mostly dominated by Classics Illustrated and Dells

I have a scan of front and back,bright light photos of all pages if requested.. "major" damage would be bottom center of spine of front cover 1st page; minor water damage spine is scruffy but not split.. 

Anyones thought? Thank you everyone! Jeff/bikesnbuses

To you, it may appear minor; but the moisture stain along the spine side of the bottom edge (most visible on your pics of the inside front cover and outside back cover) will be the critical/governing defect in the eyes of CGC.  A moisture stain that extensive should cap the condition grade at about 4.0.

I totally understand about the stain..I guess compared to books with pages stuck together I mean ..Thank you!!

3.5/4.0

Thanks for sharing.

That's quite a score! I think a 4.0 sounds reasonable.

3.5

Agree with others but it presents well, and is a fantastic find!

good chance at a 4.0 if submitted

4.0 … even with water stain and fraying, looks good!
