zzutak Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 The discoloration is foxing, and it looks to be pretty extensive. As long as the copy is complete (at 44 total pages, 40 interior pages), I'd call it a 4.0. Fukuoka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I'm going to be a little more generous with a 5.0 if some surface grim removal makes the foxing look less severe. The subscription crease & staining would set the ceiling around 5.0 regardless. Fukuoka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 To me it's a nice looking 3.0 with the GA bump making it a 3.5, as is. Not sure how much pressing and fussing is advisable or how much it would improve the grade. Fukuoka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
