9.0

 

The red on the front cover is incredible!

The ones I've seen have browned due to fading.

8.5. Those staples are majorly off-center

And? A tweener 8.5/9.0. Nice copy.

7.0- maybe a 7.5. Tanning, dirty back cover, staple stress marks, spine stresses, slight damage to bottom front cover. crease on upper edge.

Surfer,

 

There is no crease on the upper edge, it's a reflection due to my scanner...

 

Does it change your grade ?

[Silver Surfer]

Maybe but I think an 8.0 would still be the highest grade obtainable. While the color gloss and corners look pretty good as I look up and down the spine there seems to be more wear than perhaps the scan shows due to the dark cover. I think the tanning and possible foxing is the part that will keep this from ontaining a higher grade.

7.0 was my first guess. But now I'd say 7.5

 

What's with the discoloration along the back of the spine and at top on back.

 

Almost looks like water damage?

It's not water damage, more like tanning...
