Curious to see what you all think, the popped staple is a tough one for me to judge. |

It doesn’t fit neatly into typical ranges, with one moderate defect and very few additional minor defects. Really nice looking book. I’ll put it this way: it would be a very appealing (to me) 6.0 and a disappointing 8.0 - but I can imagine it being graded in that range. If we’re guessing outcome, I’ll say 6.5. If I didn’t have a copy and it graded out at 6.5, I’d be willing to pay at the very high end of 6.5 copies and wouldn’t feel bad about paying a premium. |

Apparently, I am easily annoyed. | Rbolton private msg quote post Address this user | |
7.0 would be my estimation | ||

Really appreciate everyone's insight, I was thinking the 6.0-7.0 range, but it's a tough one because it presents so well but for the staple. Thanks so much! |

@lawguy1977 - It definitely looks better than my 5.5 copy, but both staples are attached. Let us know what the experts say. PS - I paid 15 cents for my copy, but the signatures cost me significantly more than that! |

I don't know how the grading companies work. But from memory a book with a single popped staple can't grade higher then a 8.0 in the over street grading guide. I don't have access to my copy to double check. |

I have this Daredevil and haven't bothered to get it graded as the top staple has popped out and would come back 8.0. |

@esaravo As usual, I'm jealous, Ed! Love that you have both Adams and O'Neil, and it's a nice copy. I've got a 5.0, but I picked this up for pretty cheap, all in all. It definitely presents well, so I'm sure I'll send it in at some point. @southerncross that copy is beautiful, but I get why you haven't sent it in. I think you're right on the 8.0 max grade from what I researched (i.e., Googled). |

Quote:Originally Posted by lawguy1977I’d say 6.0ish. I think I’d be happy with that book. |
