Mmehdy Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 40 pages of content does that mean incomplete ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnkurJ Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 I asked if it was complete, he said it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action252Kid Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Saw that in the completed section the next day. Initially thought "hmm, even with only 40 pages there.. it was a decent buy." Then I realized it was complete! According to watchcount, it sold within nine minutes of posting. Congrats to the buyer -- they had to see it within those nine minutes, realize it was all there and not a scam, and checkout before anyone else.

PopKulture Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) Very interesting! The pages look great. The cover has strong colors and decent gloss with a few obvious nicks and flaws. What do you think it would grade? 1.8? 2.0? 2.5? You could fold the one piece down on the right edge (if it doesn't break off) and still have a nice-presenting copy of a mega-key! Funny that someone knew enough to ask that much but not to bother any further with it, like getting it slabbed or sending it to auction.

G.A.tor Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Shouldn’t it have 72 pages (36 folios) and cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.A.tor Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 So 40 pages is 20 folios meaning it’s very incomplete? Reasonable at 9k but no steal? Or am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grebal Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Pardon my ignorance, but what looks like a pic of centerfold appears to show continuity of story from the left page to the right page. So what pages would be missing, if not center wraps? Do any experts on this book recognize that the picture shown is/is not the appropriate centerfold? I understand there are other (more complicated)ways to have missing pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruson Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Seller is legit I think. Book complete? Not sure but nice deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eccomic Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) I would surmise the book IS complete 76 interior pages and cover makes 80 TOTAL pages, or 40 LEAVES.. The seller has a funny way of counting pages. LOL Edited August 11, 2019 by eccomic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing it’s 40 pages like stated but it’s just a guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing it’s 40 pages like stated but it’s just a guess Yes, so it would be 36 pages (counting both sides) to the CF and 36 pages on the back end of the CF. Add the covers (4 pages) = 76 total. Or, you can count 18 pages (single sided) to the CF and 18 more on the back end = 36 pages x 2 sides each = 72 + covers (outside and inside) = 76 Edited August 12, 2019 by Primetime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I prefer apple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circumstances Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 One of the later pictures looked to me like pages missing towards the back of the book. I'm not familiar enough with the interior to tell if the correct pages were in the correct places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
