Grader’s Notes
Front Cover: Heavy edge wear and multiple folded corners; moderate color loss; visible creasing at top and bottom edges; some fraying on the spine.
Spine: Intact with visible wear but no split; staples appear firmly attached.
Corners: Rounded and creased, particularly lower right.
Interior Pages: Light tan to off-white with some foxing and bottom-edge staining (visible on inner cover). All story and ad pages intact.
Back Cover: Age toning, moderate soiling and edge wear, but no major tears.
Overall Structure: Some waviness and handling wear but fully attached, complete, and structurally sound.
Estimated Grade Range:
Raw Grade: 3.5 – 4.0 (Very Good)
Heavy edge wear and folds bring it down
Staining on inner cover lowers the ceiling
Solid spine and staples keep it above G/VG
A gentle press may help slightly with corner folds and cover flatness, but staining and fraying will keep it a lower-mid grade overall. |
