jokiing Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 My grading question has mostly to do with the chunk missing from top center of cover. Bought from a shop in the 1980's and somehow missed this defect. As can be seen from the last pic, at one point there was tape holding the "scab" in place. Looks like the scab came off with the bandage... again, happened pre-purchase. I put a sheet of paper behind cover to better show the missing piece. Rest of book, sadly, is pretty nice. Few scratches near tear. Thanks. Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpoolica Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I'd say it brings down to 7.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jokiing Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 Thanks for all the opinions that I think are right on the mark. I find it tough to figure out grades when there is one good size defect of an otherwise pretty book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10centcomics Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I think FN is okay if it were just a tape pull but it's actually a hole in the cover? I would think that bumps it down to VG range. jokiing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 7.5 IMO. jokiing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
