Ozonetv Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 What do you think....its pretty clean other than a partially detached centerfold at the bottom staple, and a small spine split at the top and bottom. Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWL Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 That presents well. I would grade that as a 3.0 (good / very good). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would grade that as a 3.0 (good / very good). +1 4.0 back cover, 2.5 front = ca. 3.0 overall. Is there any tape inside the spine reinforcing the splits, cracks, and fissures from separating all the way?

James J Johnson Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Just now, Ozonetv said: Oh Good Grief, Charlie Brown, close that carefully and never; and never means never, ever, open the book all the way like that again! If there are splits waiting to happen, if the paper is weak at the staples, opening it like this is not advisable!! Nice paper quality, though. That's what saved the spine here from breaking up more where those rifts are. Superior paper quality. Sound, no tendency to be brittle at all, and you can see that most readily by the heat of the colors and the ink quality of those bright colors on the splash. Usually off-gassing or pulp paper breaking down kills the colors. Mutes the contrast adversely. This is a beautiful book. Thanks for showing it, it's great to see one with this kind of paper and ink preservation; most are not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks- it wasnt stressing the spine tho- it basically just falls open like that - but point made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicginger1789 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Yeah I think 3.5-4.0 is where she falls. The detached center combined with spine split keeps it from 4.5 or better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
