kcm54 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I have this somewhere between 4.5 and 6.0, but I could be completely off. Too many variables. There is a 1/4" and a 1/8" tear on the back left side, both in the bottom quarter. There is a ding, but not a tear, on the front upper left, near the "r" There is an NCB fold lower right and a CB fold lower left. There is considerable minor spine stress, particularly near Mole Man's head, along with a bit of stress near the mislocated stable. The staples are solid and do not appear discolored, the corners are blunted but that's it. All 3 edges show very slight roughness, the bottom edge shows stress, mostly near the left-corner bend. The pages are white with a narrow tinge of off-white at the edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lions Den Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 One of the toughest areas in the grading spectrum...the question I like to ask is this: Is it a nice book that has some serious flaws, or is it a low grade copy that looks nice? In this case, I think you're in the right range. I can see 5.0 or 5.5 on this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
