Jaylam Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Looks pretty nice. About an 8.0. Those back cover discolorations like that usually will hold even a super looking book back to that grade. Also that slightly color breaking bend/crease that you show to the right lower front cover seals it to an 8.0 at best. Still, it's a beautiful copy. What's its story? Are you wanting to sell it, slab it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iXr184 Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 Sent it out for pressing and slab. I'll post it when I get it back. (Whenever that is ?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrapin Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 The rusted Staples will knock it down a lot. You can see the discoloration leaking through the back cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaylam Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Are the staples rusty? Does this stain line up with a staple on this book? Usually a stain like that is transferred from a staple from another book that was in contact with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrapin Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Could be. It will still get knocked for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
