PGM Brave and the Bold 30

Beautiful colors and exceptional paper quality for this issue. Nicely machined too on the edges. #30s tends to have tiny diagonal rips (like Marvel pre-chips) on the edges, which often pull off the corner. Technical grade hinges on one thing, IMO. Is there daylight visible through any of those multiple fractures at mid spine?

Thanks, I will check for that when I get the book in hand

This book presents beautifully enough that whatever the technical grade, 5.0 to 6.0, dependent upon if there are tiny splits or "peek-a-boo" areas through the spine in that mid-area of greatest wear, submitted for special consideration, it would definitely earn a CVS exceptional quality sticker, although you really wouldn't need to be told by a sticker what your eyes will tell you in this case, especially if you've seen lots of #30s and the mechanical production errors that I mentioned typically plaguing the issue. Even when they look real nice from the front, the flip side general has overall foxing, edge tone/foxing, and chipping severe enough to dislodge the reading edge corners! The paper and machining is atypically fresh and clean on this one!
