Mavrick76 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) 🤔 - 🙏 in Advance flattest book I’ve ever handled a big shout out to those of you who take the time to educate us - thank you Edited August 19, 2023 by Mavrick76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 What are those two lines on the back cover that look like staples? I've seen really offset staples in Charlton books, but I think I see the staples on the spine. The oxidation/shadow probably maxes this out around 8.0/8.5, but I'd need more info on those lines to be sure. Mavrick76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavrick76 Posted August 20, 2023 Author Share Posted August 20, 2023 Those 2 lines are the actual staples you’re seeing - I’ve never seen staples so offset - quite a pity re: oxidation, because I don’t think this book has ever been read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastballspecial Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) Looks really nice. It needs to be cleaned which will make it look better. Pressed will help on back cover. Some weird nick on front cover on right side bottom. Guessing you get all that done it will hit 8.0/8.5 for the nick very nice copy Just read are the staples rusty? If so the grade goes way down.
