Eric C M Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I sent this FedEx overnight for ‘Standard’ tier grading today so I should hopefully see results fairly soon. CCS doing clean/press. Thanks for any thoughts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvelmaniac Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Minor to moderate spine roll at top with fanned pages, what appears to be a small color breaking crease or color loss at the lower right corner, slight edge wear w/some color loss, slight denting on top edge of rear cover, dust shadows on rear cover, crease (?) lower right corner of rear cover? 7.0 FINE/VERY FINE (FN/VF): Back to Top An above-average copy that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with outstanding eye appeal. A small accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor cover wear beginning to show, possibly including minor creases. Corners may be blunted. Inks are generally bright with a moderate reduction in reflectivity. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. Minor foxing. The slightest spine roll may be present, as well as a possible moderate color break. Staples may show some discoloration. Slight staple tears and a small accumulation of light stress lines may be present. Slight rust migration. Paper is cream to tan. Centerfold is mostly secure. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present. 6.5 FINE+ (FN+): Back to Top Fits the criteria for Fine but with an additional virtue or small accumulation of virtues that improves the book's appearance by a perceptible amount.

capt hook Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 6.5 with a bump up with C&P, maybe 7.5 if back cover cleans up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Not the highest res pics but I'll venture 6.5 from what I can see. Nice book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 The back looks like moderate foxing to me, the resolution of the photos could be misleading. CGC hates stains, foxing and the like. I see 6.0 as the max unless this is soiling that cleans. I'm not sure CCS is the most thorough with the cleaning part of c/p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
