Palm Beach Presser Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 4.0/4.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmac100 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 6.0 after a press. Is that a small tape pull on the guy's nose on the back cover? I think those color breaking creases and that tape pull is going to prevent a higher grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As odd as it looks, it just appears that it didn't print the way it was supposed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvonie Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I’m at a 6.5 as well. Great centering, which is hard on this book, and lots of pressable lumps and bumps! I’m still looking for my copy of this book and this one is just the kind of mid-high copy I like! Thanks for posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmattioli86 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 6.0 for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverseeker Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 6.0 for me as well based on what I can see...is there a stain at the top of the front cover? In the last photo you shared of the splash page it looks like there might be a stain at the top of the front cover that also impacts the splash page. If this is the case I can see the book being downgraded to 5.0 - 5.5. Nice book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like there was something between the paper and the printing plate that later fell off. Oh, and 6.0 for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I attached an image that points to the area in question...when I see a tanned cover edge that has a lighter area like this I tend to think it's a stain. Hope I'm wrong!
