PGM HOM 174

Nice looking copy that I picked up because I felt it may have been undergraded. What would you guys put it at? Tiny corner crease bottom right front cover, top left corner blunted on back, small dust shadow/tanning on top left back. That's about it...

The Grading Bastiche says ....7.5-8.0. I can't see the back so that the best I can go for now. Yep, that's the ticket. Nice book by the way.

Hey Andy. Is that rubbing wear along the "M" in Mystery? How about under the "S" & "T" of the logo?

Yes to both, but the scan emphasizes them. Not too noticable in-hand.

Fair enough. I would think somewhere in the 6.5/7.0 neighborhood....nice structure and color, just that bit of rubbing/spine wear that reduces the freshness a bit.

I agree - the wear at, and rounding of, the corners puts me on the 6.5 side of this.

I would have no problem with the 6.5/7.0 range

 

What was it graded at? Did it undergrade compared to grades received here??

[uclapeterg]

Is there a crease in the upper right? I would grade it out at 6.5/7.0.

No crease.

Looks like maybe a 6.5, but I get a feeling there's a "crinkliness" to the area of the FC; that it's not "mirror - like"....5.5

No "crinkliness" either.

 

 

 

...and if that's a 5.5 let me know when you next plan to sell some books!

[seank]

I'd say 7.0.
