grendelbo Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I finally got a copy today. Super stoked. Figured I'd post to see if our estimates align with those of the comic shop owner. Also, gotta prove to @scburdet every now and then that I do own some books. Pages are OW. There is some tanning on the inside and outside of both covers. Thanks for your opinions. Spoiler LCS gave it a 7.0 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 5.5/6.0. Without the tanning, I'd have said at least 7.0 grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendelbo Posted May 5 Author Share Posted May 5 I appreciate the responses! I always try to take photos of my books under natural light. Yesterday was a bit cloudy in the afternoon so I think it affected the pics a bit. There's tanning for sure but not so bad as my original post would appear to show. The covers show no sign of brittleness. I'd consider it light to moderate tanning. These pics were taken this afternoon. CGC's guide says moderate tanning will bring a book down to 8.0 - 9.0. Heavy tanning down to the 6.0 range. The book exhibits no other significant flaws other than some small creasing at the front cover's bottom right edge. Personally, I think 7.0 is a fairly accurate grade. I can't see it going below a 6.5 in any case. I'm very pleased with this long-wanted book and it's been a great read.
