burnsbabe Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Hey folks. I've got an ASM 5 here that's in pretty rough shape. In addition to all the visible color breaking creases, and the tearing along the spine of the cover, you can see that there are a couple places where coupons were cut out at some point. Additionally, the centerfold is detached at the top staple. If it wasn't a single digit ASM, I'd not even worry about it, but it is. Please give me your thoughts, as well as whether you'd ask for a blue label or the dreaded green, if you were to submit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzutak Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 1. A submitter cannot request that a book be awarded a Qualified Grade. 2. Even if one could, this book is beat and well below the Green Label threshold (which is typically about 4.0/4.5). 3. Multiple cut-outs that include story art (on an otherwise low-grade copy) should receive a Universal Grade 0.5 PR. Not a copy I would have certified. grendelbo, burnsbabe and scburdet 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnsbabe Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 News to me on the green label threshold. Otherwise, yes, it's definitely .5 max Universal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
