Brojas_ Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Any idea what grade this could get? I was thinking 7.5 but not sure with all the spine ticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvelmaniac Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Multiple color breaking spine ticks, slight corner wear, some color loss at lower edge by lower, left corner, small color breaking crease on outer edge at the top of the rocks, color loss/tear(?) at lower edge of rear cover. I do not know CGC's current stance on color breaking spine ticks, for me this book is a FN/VF 7.0 8.0 VERY FINE (VF): Back to Top An excellent copy with outstanding eye appeal. A limited accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Cover is relatively flat with minimal surface wear beginning to show, possibly including some minute wear at corners. Inks are generally bright with moderate to high reflectivity. An unnoticeable 1/4" crease is acceptable if color is not broken. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. Minor foxing. Spine is almost completely flat with a possible minor color break. Staples may show some discoloration. Very slight staple tears and a few almost insignificant stress lines may be present. Paper is cream to tan and supple. Centerfold is mostly secure. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present. 7.5 VERY FINE- (VF-): Back to Top Fits the criteria for Very Fine but with an additional defect or small accumulation of defects that detracts from the book's appearance by a perceptible amount. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric C M Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I think you are on the mark with your 7.5, possibly lower and probably not any higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I'd guess 7.0 before 7.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lninefingers Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I'm at 7.0, but a 6.5 wouldn't shock me. The more I look the more little issues I see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
