Scimann Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Wondering how the ink smudge on the top edge will affect its grade. Book is in good shape. Spine shows white, but no big creases. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 It depends what it is. It could be distribution overspray, in which case it won't hurt that much. Probably it won't factor in at the grade warranted by the little defects. Say 8.0/8.5 b/c it looks like some minor wear around the edges with some light bends. Maybe 9.0 pressed. The color isn't typical of overspray & there's usually more on the edge than the cover itself, so it could be something else. If it's determined to be post manufacturing/distribution, then 7.0/7.5.

Ahsoka Tano Jedi Apprentice Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 There you have it......after you hear from these two guy's you can pretty much take that to the bank..... I would think but you never know.....the more the better ...so I'll say it looks like overspray ....but it does look odd...and comes pretty far out on the book.....and it does appear to detract from the book somewhat.....that makes me a little nervous so I'm like a 7.0 but that means it must at least be a 7.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
