bvega18 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) Hello and thank you. Bought this with a 4.0 in mind but the more I look around I'm starting to think it may get higher. Any and all input appreciated. Couldn't be happier with grade. Thank you all for input.

Not A Clone Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 That top spine split is the big killer. Without that I would have said you could get a 7.0 with a press, but that looks like a 1/2" split so I'll say 5.5. Really nice color on the cover. So many of those are really faded.

D84 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 That spine split is a killer. 4.5-5.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashlites Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I'd say it's a 5.0 as well. It actually matches up pretty closely with the ASM 50 5.0 shown in the grading guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last Overstreet guide has a great section in it where they take ASM 50 and show it in all major grades. Not A Clone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elibowman Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Such great eye appeal, I am glad the spine split didn't kill you. I would have guess 4.5 based on that defect alone, but so much prettier. Congrats! bvega18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
