ASM 654 2nd print 2 2

[Average RE]

Hi there hope you’re all having a nice weekend. Would you please spare a moment to give your opinion on what grade this is. Im still learning when it comes to grading 

[SolidShredder]

Several spine ticks, small amount of color rub along the spine, impact corner (or "corner crunch" - creases from the corner hitting something). Add in the fact that CGC tends to be harsher on newer books like this and you're probably looking at something like a 7.5-8.0.

Hi there thanks for the reply, I did think 7.0-8.0 myself thanks still learning the grading process

Looks like those dents could benefit from a press. I'd expect a 7.5 for the color breaking stress lines. Sometimes a cover that shows defects really well will appear to grade higher with the same defects as a light colored book with the same defects though. So I wouldn't be totally shocked if it landed in the 8s

8.0.

Thanks for posting.

The corner crunch/crease should clean up a bit. 8.0
