  • Got 8.5 (maybe lower?) on this one. Need 2nd opinion here. Thanks.
    Not sure where to put the tear on the lower staple on the grading tool.

  • You say there's a tear on this? Where is it? I didn't see one... Without a tear on here, I'd say it's higher than an 8.5 (assuming you're going to press it).

    Thanks for your advice.
    The tear (color break crease(?) white stripe, pic #2) is at the lower side of the lower staple. Click on the picture to see it in fullsize.
    Not sure how to insert picture here at the time i did this. So i used imgbox to upload those pic.

    Have you tried the grading tool here? -

    Yes, i did use that. Not sure which defect category to put the tear/wear in the tool. Staple wear? large creases and/or smal tears? I think i picked the buckled spine, Color breaking creases. That was why i ended up at 8.5.

  • 8.0-8.5, but this can be pressed into 8.5-9.0 i think, you have alot of wrinkles that just need a pressing, your biggest issue is the staple tears and blunted corner...

  • Thanks. Were really surprise when i saw all those defects. Those books were bought new, bagged and boarded since day 1 and were in the box for more than 20 years. How did they got there is beyond my knowledge. lol.

  • the staple tearing could be due to over stuffing a box

    There's no way this was bagged and boarded since Day 1. Clearly a copy that was read and handled. F/VF in my opinion.

    At least not by me. I have my own reading copy. Out of the 3 extras i have, only 1 seems to does not have any visible defect. I have another copy listed here for grading advices, and there are quite a few defect on that ones too.
    How did they occurred, i have no idea because i always bagged and boarded all my books (extra ones) after i bought them the shop. And reading copy after finished reading Smile.
