The 9.0 is exactly what I'm talking about, 10k that is half as much. The 9.0 is the perfect sinerio as we are talking about high grade books (9.2 JLA 1). An ugly 9.0??, any 9.0 is going to be nice/decent, ugly is a not the best choice of word thats your opinion, and pressing may have a little to do with it but NOT 10k worth (half as much) of the other 9.0. The Maine AF 15 was pressed up a full grade and is still a VERY diseriable book. Pressing has little to do with anything in todays society what it has to do is what the book is and it is a D.C. which is not doing as well as marvel right now, as it is becoming harder and harder to find 9.0's up that have never been pressed.
