PGM ASM #129

[Sid]

 

BIG problem with book is the edges, they were stacked wrong or something happened during delivery like getting squished that the edges got all wavey, those dark spots are little wavey dents and it flows throughout the book Other then that there's a date stamp on cover and edges are kind of rounded. Pages are White/Off-white.

Again, the scans are a bit small....

 

It really looks like it could be anything from a 5.5 to a 7.5, considering the "waviness"...I might have thought even possibly higher from the scan without your description, which makes it sound like it's on the lower end of that estimate...

[Sid]

k i'll update all my ones with bigger scans

 

it looks good, very good just until you look at the back cover.

[mar-vell]

are you sure that isn't some kind of moisture damage? How supple are the pages?

That is almost certainly moisture damage. There's no other way the paper would ripple like that on an open edge.

 

Sorry... but with moisture damage that prominent and throughout the book as you say, I'd have to go with VG.

[Sid]

pages are perfectly fine it just appears it was mis-handled or something. The book came from the Netherlands to US in a horribly flimsy envelope but was padded by cardboards. There is also no staining or anything, pages are not firm like I would expect from that sort of damage, very supple and soft just ripply. I have the worst luck buying over the net.

[Sid]

I don't know what's with my scanner or weird lighting, it showed the exact replica of what that looks like on a Dennis the menace i listed here which caused it to be graded extremely low. I gave it a 9.0 vs the 4-5 it was getting here, and got no complaint on the grade when shown to people and finally the guy who bought it.

[Point Five]

Sorry about the damage. Yep, with the dents going through the whole book, I'd have to guess 4.5.

 

If there really isn't any moisture waviness and the dents don't break any color (can't tell from the scan), this might be a good pressing candidate.

[B-Smooth]

have it presssssssed.

[Sid]

how much does it cost to get pressed? who does it?

[B-Smooth]

Matt Nelson. About $40.

It could have just been handling when new. I could see somebody grabbing a stack of twenty books between the fingers and thumb and simply wrinkling the books as he/she attempts to hold the pile together.
