Mavrick76 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) Hi all - Wanted to get your thoughts on grading for this book. That small tear on the middle  right hand side is a bit of an eyesore. 😔  Many thanks in advance Edited July 17, 2023 by Mavrick76 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southern cross Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Is that a piece out of the back cover corner or is that folded in on itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavrick76 Posted July 17, 2023 Author Share Posted July 17, 2023 It’s folded in on itself. southern cross 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 3.0/3.5. Defects look like 2.5/3.0, but I give it a GA boost. The foxing and tanning are the main issues IMO Mavrick76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorick Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 We call that a "chip" on the front cover right side edge (a tear wouldn't be as much an eye-sore... maybe). You should try and get that dog ear on the back cover laid flat (if it will fold back out without cracking off). Even though it seems a little brownish in the scan, I'm getting an overall impression of supple page quality. If supple and not on the brittle side, I might give the grade another half point. Right now, I'm seeing a 3.0. Mavrick76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
