Does this look like mold? Or foxing/some other type of stain?

Yeah me too.  I just have no idea if it is mold (and will keep spreading) or just some random foxing/staining

As Matt Nelson said, there are many different kinds of stains. 

The stains on your Showcase do appear to be a mold of some sort. I think it's a good thing the book is sealed in an airtight chamber; this should certainly help keep the mold from spreading.

I'd keep a close eye on it, though...  :wishluck:

I actually haven't purchased it yet :) . But thanks for the heads up

Well, it may be turned off buyers if you re-sell it.  FYI, it has foxing stains. Mold is grey/black and smelly.

This does appear to be moderate foxing as well as some other stains on the upper left back cover. I'm not sure what those tiny black dots are, either (maybe coffee grounds?) Either way, I'd be a little leery of inviting it into my home...

Put me in the foxing camp. Very classic foxing look.

Aw, what do you know about foxing you old fart.  :baiting:
