Terry JSA Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) Picked this up at a show today in Charlotte, bought for what I thought was a good price since it’s a nice solid copy, thought I might see what you guys think on the grade. I personally see it as a 9.4 with little to no defects. Edited April 12, 2021 by Terry_JSA Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Possible tanning top of BC is the biggest issue I see. Plus, the whole book looks darker than a clean copy should look. Poor lighting?? Funnybooks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbshay Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Maybe it's the perspective, but is it trimmed? seems to taper at the bottom a bit... Nice book though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Super nice book! It looks like the back cover might have some minor top/bottom dirt or edge stains, and the spine (while lovely) some gentle wrinkles. I'd guess 8.0, possible 8.5, barring any interior flaws. Great find! Funnybooks and Terry JSA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funnybooks Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 The tanning along with dust shadows on both wraps may keep this book out of nm range I'll go 8.5 Terry JSA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry JSA Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 Thank you all for your input so far, I probably graded it a bit too high without taking the tanning into account as I’m not too sure how CGC grades when it comes to things like that, especially on older books.

I’m not too sure, I asked the dealer I bought it from if it had any restoration and he said that it had none as he personally owned the book for around 20 years. tbshay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
