This is part of my personal collection.

This book has white to off white pages and appears unread. 

There are no marks or cuts inside the book. It looks like new.

The cover is centered. The colors are bright. The corners are excellent.

The flaws; slight downward dent in cover page. If I were getting the book graded I would have it pressed for the extra few bucks. Based upon my experiences with CGC this should come out. It is NOT a bend or crease. I believe that they hydrate the book and then press it flat. :)

Thanks for looking. I'd say the book could be a 9.6-.8 if pressed.
