LowGradeBronze Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I think 7.0 or 7.5 but can't go higher due to the b/c tear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the staple indentations are mild in comparison to most. Typical on even the otherwise highest graded issues is to see the staples indenting the back cover aggressively enough to actually puncture the cover to varying degrees. I imagine it must be a combination of the pressure exerted on the book in production as recalibration becomes necessary and probably the biggest factor, stacking pressure; the amount of weight on top of a particular book in storage.

Palm Beach Presser Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 I think it is a really nice copy. The grade limiter is the small back left edge tear & crease. I would guess 8.0 now with a potential to 9.0. The staple dents can be smoothed and the spine wrap problems are very common on that book. Congrats!
