Jaymassena Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) Interesting grading challenge. Book is in otherwise excellent condition. Great gloss, flat and tight. But it has two interesting defects. The biggest is a crescent tear at the upper left of the cover. Smaller is a tiny printing crease on the back cover. How would you grade this book?

badback83 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Hmm. Obviously, if the tear and crease weren't present, this would be way above 6.0. I just don't see it going any higher than that. I could be wrong, but I feel like 6.0 is the ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spawn1709 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Yeah, I got to agree with DocHoppus182 that this book is around a 6.0 (6.5 if lucky). badback83 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad its a beauty book. the printers crease on the back isnt a defect,but obviously the tear,and some foxing on the upper spine by the staple, and on the back cover will bring it down. badback83 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymassena Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 Thanks everyone for your time! I agree that 6.0-6.5 would be about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
