Subby1939 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Only one staple on this one (top only). I've had this one a very long time. Appreciate opinions on the grade and the impact the single, a bit offset staple will have on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby_Fan Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 A textbook 7.5, IMO. It would be in the 8.5 to 9.0 territory but the lower r.h.c color breaking crease reduces it to 7.5. Subby1939 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timfinz Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 8.0 IMHO The bottom corner of the spine seems to account for most of the grade loss. Gorgeous book otherwise! Thanks for posting! Subby1939 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedkord Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Not good at grading, but that's a sharp book. Subby1939 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollyComics Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Pretty copy. The biggest defect is on lower right corner. Light wear in general. 8.0/8.5. Subby1939 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I think 7.5 for the same corner issue mentioned above. If I am reading your description correctly, this only has one staple? It might get a green label, with an acknowledgement of the production defect. I have a book manufactured without staples with a green label. It would not impact the grade or value, but would be an nice oddity for people who specifically look for this kind of thing. Subby1939 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subby1939 Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 (edited) Thanks I was wondering if that would affect anything. I could probably see a green label more on a book without any staples ... so there's nothing holding it together?
