I feel the same. 😒 I am sending it in with my next batch of submissions to see what a pressing can do and will post pics and a report when I get it back. Thanks for all your help, everyone!!

This is great info. Thanks everyone. Not having it slabbed would save some cash. I just thought having it slabbed might fetch more. But you’re right...if I saw this book, I wouldn’t but it. Thanks all. Lots of great points to be had here.

Thank you! Even if that rippling cleaned up with a press, I’d be stoked. Thanks!!

So I have heard that years and years ago, when stores got comics in, they would ink them, or the way I understand, roll an “inker ball” across the edges to mark them. Inventory perhaps? Is this true? Anyways, I came across this ASM 129 that has ink on it. A lot of it, unfortunately. So much that the pages are all warped. I was curious if this could be this “marking” ink or did this book just have a very unfortunate accident? I have seen other graded ASM 129’s on eBay that has this same color ink on it and it made me wonder. Secondly...do you think a pressing would help this book at all? Is it worth sending in to get graded? Thank you all!!! Chris

Thanks!! I edited the post for your suggestion. Thank you!!

Recently scored this FF 52. It is in very good condition except for a chip on the bottom right hand corner of the cover which you can clearly see in the pics. I was thinking this book could be a very high grade without that chip, but...wish in one hand, right?? What do you more seasoned guys think?? Thank you all soooooo much!!
