torontodesignguy Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Hello boardies - looking for some help to grade: - cover tear on front right (not through any pages) - cover tear on back top - foxing along the bottom back cover I suspect it's been pressed based on how super flat it is Thanks for your on going guidance 1950's war comics, FoggyNelson and Lucky Baru 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Get Marwood & I Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I'll have a go torontodesignguy seeing as you've been left hanging. Tricky one due to the tears and back cover shadow. It says 6.5 to me without the tears. Maybe drops to a 5.0 with them. Nice looking cover, if a little miswrapped. Let's see if that drags anyone else in.... 1950's war comics and torontodesignguy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber-Bob Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 The foxing isn't bad, very light. I would like to say 6.0 but that front cover tear is troublesome,so 5.5 . I agree, it looks like it has been both pressed and dry cleaned. Nice book. torontodesignguy and 1950's war comics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point Five Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I grade this AWESOME. How long is the tear on front? Does it go as high as the bottom of the black price diamond? torontodesignguy, 1950's war comics, FoggyNelson and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szav Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Great copy...I'll go 5.5 due to the tears and shadow/stains along the back cover lower edge. torontodesignguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it. That's a longer tear than I would have hoped, but if any book deserves a screaming GA bump it's this one. 6.0 torontodesignguy, FoggyNelson and 1950's war comics 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
