Please grade my ASM 10 ~ Front looks 8.0 but the back....

[Aces]

Got it today!

 

First glance looks 9.2ish white blazing white pages and dripping gloss and inks.

Some stuff going on along the Big Man's arm right along the spine lowers it to 8.0 or so.

The back has a big rip.

The piece isn't missing, just turned down into the book.

 

Damn....

Would be a gem if not for that tear.

 

I think it's a little better than the GVG Heritage gave it.

Technically, it is a 3.5 with that tear....

 

Without it, I think it would've been a 7.5 (too much spine stress for straight VF)...

 

I don't know...4.5 might be a fair compromise. A legitimate reason for a Qualified grade....

 

I would trade my 4.5 copy of this book for this one......

I would have to agree with Heritage due to the damage on the back cover

The front looks sweet

So fold it back already . . .

 

Nice copy Chris What did it set you back? How's the PQ?

 

Just slap a big piece-o-tape on the ISBC

PQ is white.

 

$111+ change with shipping and BP.

Good book = $101 so I did OK.

 

Heritage likes me.

1) I got it today with the envelope invoice in my mail box too (which means I didn't pay yet).

2) They weren't sending out paper invoces anymore but they made an exception.

You did GREAT. I for one would always go for a book like this with the damage on the back regardless of the technical grade. Hell i bet you would prefer this copy then a FN without the tear. I know i would!

[Point Five]

I agree, Aces, great book! I'd lean towards calling it 3.5 myself, but the grade is pretty much arbitrary. I'd trade my 4.0 copy for this one in a hurry. Nice pickup!
