What this grade could not confirm
Limits of the submitted photos and video. These are not findings against the book.
- Reference-catalog lookup was unavailable for this run; identity, credits, and variant disambiguation rely on cover indicia alone.
- White page tier cannot be asserted from camera evidence without an in-frame known-white reference card; interior pages are called at Off-White to White on the video ceiling.
- Sub-1/32-inch surface defects on the red front cover cannot be resolved reliably from photo and video, which is why the front-cover impression is scored as probable rather than confirmed.
- Odor and chemistry require an in-hand assessment.
- Video sampling was below the required cadence and may miss brief spine or page defects.
- Faint diagonal impression running across the mid-cover, visible as a soft light-catch across the red field. No hard color-break observed at submitted resolution.
- Very light surface handling on the red field consistent with red-cover Modern ink reflectivity loss; no scratches or dents resolved.
- Top-right corner is square and sharp at submitted resolution.
- No spine ticks or color-break stress lines resolved across the sampled spine frames; spine reads flat and tight.
- Pages flex without cracking through the flip video; no edge splitting or corner chipping resolved on interior leaves.
- No interior tears, missing panels, coupon cuts, writing, or stains resolved across the sampled interior frames.
- Cover wrap sits square with even overhang; no miswrap, off-center staples, or bindery tears resolved.
