How much would you deduct for moderate overall tanning?

Cream to O/W pages; light tanning visible on FC and BC, but moderate tanning to perimeter of both inside covers. Otherwise great looking book. Please give me your thoughts on how much tanning affects your grade

Take the grade before tanning and divide by two.

Can you show us the interior tanning first?

You know I don't like to do that but . . . in the interest of science

I'd call that most likely a 7.5, possibly an 8.0.

Boy, that's a relief. My DD #20 and X-Men #32 are tan like that and I was concerned they might be no better than VGs even though they're quite nice otherwise.

I've had a couple of "toasted" books graded by CGC, and they typically take off a couple of grading units for browning along the edges of the interior covers (what I call "halo"). The first ASM 14 I ever owned was a VF/NM to NM- book structurally, and when the dealer I sold it to had it slabbed it garnered an 8.0 owing to the edge tanning. I'd think it would take your 8.0 down to a 7.0 or so, but the precise deduction depends on the severity of the browning.

Merci beaucoup, mon ami . . .

And to you too, Fat Freddy!

And remember, as Freddy used to say: "Keed Spills!"

Solid 8.0. I didnt take off too much for the tanning. I was bothered more by the stresses in the UL front cover

David, are you speaking in general..or for this specific book?

 

I took the question to mean the former...and would say 0.5 to a full point depending on severity and the grade otherwise..
