Corvonie Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Hi, looking for a grade on this FF 28. Biggest question for me is the nick on the spine in the last picture (my fault when I was cracking it ). Thanks and happy 4th to those who celebrate! 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY Roadkill Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 So it had a grade- you’ll reveal it? I’d say @7.0 biggest this I saw was the diagonal crease front top right plus the ding in the spine Corvonie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m gonna work on that stacking curve and the ticks. It took me a while bc I was so mad at myself for nicking it that I just put it in a bag and put it away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmac100 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 6.5 with a clean and press. I'm pretty sure that long crease caps you at about a 6.5. However, I'm not sure what you mean by a 'nick'. I looks like a tear; if it is, and it is about 1 inch long, then I'd say 5.5/6.0. Corvonie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a tear caused by my nicking the spine with the exacto knife while I was removing it from the inner well . It’s very hard to photograph effectively. It’s less than an inch long (if I had to guess, about 1/2 inch. So I’m pretty much there with you. I think with a clean and press it may remain a 6 with the tear. Thanks!
