 If there aren't any notes now, there probably won't be. For a more detailed explanation, please see my response to comicginger1789...

I figured as much, thanks for the reply.

I recently sent my first books in 14 total, grades came back 8-9.8, 3-9.6 and 3-9.4 NO graders notes for any. Personally I'd like notes on anything less than a 9.8 so I know what to look for next time but at the very least I'd like to know about a 9.4  two of the books that got 9.4's  I'd have bet money they were 9.8's. Is it possible they add the notes at a later time?

Here's another I'm sending in curious what you guys think? This is pre cleaning/pressing I thinks it's in good shape but the right corner is a concern.

thanks

pics are pre-clean/press

Just picked up this Star Wars #! going to get it cleaned and pressed before sending it in was wondering what everyone's Thought's are on a grade. Books not in bad shape has a small right corner crease and a small crease on the right edge of the cover

Thanks

It won't. While a press may mollify and/or smooth out some of the actual crimps surrounding those flake lines of the spine stresses, the broken color, the white fibers of the paper lending greater visibility to the stresses because of the color fracturing cannot be remedied by pressing.

Actually they all don't break color I was surprised after I took the pic but I think it's the flash of my phone on the ticks. I'll try and take another in natural light to show the difference.

Bought this Spider-Man #300 for I think $200 or 225 i forget but it has a couple small spine ticks and a pressing wouldn't hurt any thoughts on a possible grade after a press?

Thanks

Thanks for the replies, sending it out tomorrow so I'll post the grade when i get it back.

Thanks for the input guys! 

what would you grade this NM#98 the cover has a miss wrap will this effect the grade much? Otherwise looks perfect, thanks!

what does a staple pop do to a grade? See attached books in great shape but the top staple has pulled thru any idea on a grade? I'm having this dry cleaned so it should help a little.

thanks

**** So I went back and took a look at this book and the top staple DID NOT pull thru the cover it's just a small tear near the staple cover is still attached sooooo how will this affect the grade??
