thanks, yeah I see.. so hard to grade a book this DIRTY with just images. The more i look, the more I say I really don't see 6.5 potential. 

Looking more at that section on the cover in the lamp and under it also. I don't know if I can totally bar consideration of 6.0. 

When books are this dirty it's hard to tell what's going to come off. For example the dirt spot under the green chair. And inside the lamp bulb, where there is a light crease that will look a lot better if it cleans off. If everything worked out best as possible do you still think the panels on the BC and that little ink loss on kids prohibit any consideration of 6.0?. The panels are in word balloons so there's probably some dirt stuck on the damage there that makes it look worse. 

How much is true ink and/or paper loss? If I had to grade it NOW I would go 5.0 but I think 4.5 is harsh.

Sometimes I don't know if posters are asking what the potential is or what it is in state. 

 

 

I grade honestly assuming the poster might be purchasing the book

I think what you're seeing is really dirt. This book needs to be cleaned by someone who knows what they are doing. 

There is 6.5 potential because dirt is the main problem. But probably not higher with the creasing.

How much of that dirt has become soiling is not possible to ascertain until a thorough cleaning is done. 

I hesitate to say 7.0 with that crease between the "L" and "Superman" on the front cover, but it's not totally out the question 

after a P&C to see how it looks, so get it done.

tears in the 4th and 5th panels of mickey story --ink loss in "look kids" long crease/ rip/ tear around mickeys signature and long crease through the planes and gun.  all on the back cover

4.0- 5.0  I see some tears and color rub and long creases on back. Amazing eye appeal.
