wheelz86 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Actually my buddy's book. He's looking to slab some big books. Thanks! 1950's war comics and Galen130 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH1964 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Considerable oxidation shadows on front and back covers. A photo of the inside of the front cover & splash page would be helpful in assessing the amount of tanning on the cover and page quality. The centerfold gives some idea, but tanning is generally towards the outside of the book where there’s more exposure to air, light, heat etc. Likely, the BC is going to draw the grade down. But by how much? Can any experienced graders help? NG — because I’m just not sure. wheelz86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPH1964 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Appreciate the inside cover photo. Assuming the pages are not brittle, and from the photos it does not appear to be, my guess is 7.0 wheelz86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a book that looked like this, minus the shadowing, and got a 6.5. The shadowing might knock it back though.

c_mkv Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I’m sitting at 7.0....it’s a bit hit and miss right now but I can see this getting a 7.5 before it gets a 6.5 Really nice looking book though wheelz86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lions Den Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 The tanning is pretty severe on this book, but thankfully it's confined to the top edge and spine. I would choose 5.5... wheelz86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
