FSQIV Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Thanks for taking a look and providing your thoughts. Crunch at the top of the spine, color-breaking tick in the "M" and bindery tear is my guess at bottom of spine. Not sure a press to take out any waviness and flatten the crunch will really result in an appreciable boost in grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Maybe 8.0/8.5 with a really good c/p. A crunch can knock a book down to a 7.0. Given the FMV for this book, there's not much upside to investing in grading & a fair amount of potential for the costs to be close to the value of the graded copy.

AJD Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I was thinking it tops out at 8.0 even with a press. A bit too much colour breaking stuff going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
