Ace Bandage Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) Very minor spine tics, Contains all pages, white. Came from a collection that's been bagged and boxed for 20+ years. What grade would you give this? How much might a clean and press improve it? Fingerprints that show in the picture have been wiped clean.

Terrapin Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 7.5 too many spine ticks and blunted corners to make an 8.0 in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADAMANTIUM Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I'm at 7.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrapin Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Also the major defects cannot be fixed by pressing. So I'm not sure there is much point but I'll let the experts confirm that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJD Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Whoa, those grades look way low to me. Those aren't big tics, and that book looks 8.0 or better all day to me. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADAMANTIUM Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I could go with 8.0, but that fettering or what not that is on top of the Back cover will knock it to 8.5 along with the blunted corner (bottom left of front) the spine ticks go 'round to the back, so that is why I think the ticks are a fairly bad, I'd settle in at 7.5 11 hours ago, AJD said: Whoa, those grades look way low to me.

In time (how long? idk) lower grades too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F For Fake Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I'm torn between 7.5 and 8, kinda depends on how deep those dents on the back are. Black cover makes them look worse than they might actually be. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably get it pressed and graded... and will definitely let you all know the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agro23 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I'd say straight 8.0 on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
