| Looks like an 8 to me but others here are probably better at grading. Looks to be a solid book. | ||

Ok, I'm about to throw down $999 for it. Wish me luck...  I'm praying to the no restoration, no trimming gods, but worst case scenario Paypal has my back. Thanks to everyone for their help! |

| I am at 7.0-7.5. Is it foxing or just marks from heat in the edges and spine? | ||

| 8.5 ish. Looks too darn good for that issue. Check it immediately for color touch. If all goes well, it is a fantastic deal. Less than half the going rate. Heck, a 6.0 goes for more than you are taking about. Beautiful book. I hope this works out for you. |

I’m going to say 7.5, because I think the discoloration on the back is probably foxing and that will drop the grade a bit. But the colors on the front cover are gorgeous! It’s grade will be at least 3X higher than my copy, maybe more. |

| I'm going to say 6.5-7.0, but only because I suspect the foxing may be more extensive than the scan shows. If the foxing is as the scan shows, 8.0 tops I think. |

| To my eyes whoever scanned this might have played with color balance. Just my two cents. | ||

| Yeah, on my desktop now.... Staple rust (heavy) bottom staple. Lighter amount of staple rust on top staple. It *appears*to be dry cleaned & pressd already. If not, thee is little/to no room for a grade bump from pressing. 6.5 to 8.0 is my estimate, based on what I can see in the FC/BC scans, magnified on a desktop computer. Pics of the interior 1st page and interior cover. Same for BC/last page. And a dead on unangled pic shot from a foot away, is really what you need to pin down grades with reliable accuracy. This would be for the FC and BC. And a pic of the c-fold, to see staple alignment and rust migration. If you will be happy with a 6.0, go for it. Scans invariably have visual distortions along the outer edges of books. |
