Kon_Jelly Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Just picked this up and I'm thinking I may have overpaid. Tell me what you think: More pics under the spoiler tag below. The mark on the back cover at the top center is not a cut - it's just a mark. Spoiler tv horror 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Get Marwood & I Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 My eyes are dodgy, but is that not a full length crease down the centre of the back cover? The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lions Den Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 That full length crease definitely affects the grade...it looks like around a 5.0 to me. I hope that helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 5.0 IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I will also say 5.0-5.5 at the highest. Worse looking copies have sold for $250-300 so if you paid in the $300-350 range (maybe a tad more) you paid fair market value Either way a cool book to own! I wish I had grabbed more copies back when I got mine 8 years ago for $40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 A number of ticks and stains and small creases, and then the sub crease through the back. I'd say a 4.5 that presents really well for the grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krismusic Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I would say 5.0 as there chipping all around spine ticks and that sub crease on the back can be seen on the front near the top and bottom and portions of it looks like it breaks colour to me so not sure if a press would help much either.

I'm thinking some cleaning and a press will help the back cover. If I can get it into the 6 range I'll be very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlextherobot Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I'm still getting my sea legs as a grader, but having spent a lot of time looking at copies of ASM 101 of late, I feel pretty confident this is around 5.0-5.5. Nice copy IMO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
