  1. The puckering on the spine is due to the way the cover was glued to the pages. Pressing will not remove that. Good news is CGC considers that part of production. I have seen many high grade copies of this book with goofy spines. As far as the pressing goes you cannot stay away from the staples, they are essentially on the cover. To the OP's comment, they are not misaligned, hey are where they should be. Someone who knows what they are doing can press this without causing additional damage. That's why you need to use someone reputable and with lots of experience. Having pressed hundreds of books is not a lot of experience. Ask if they have experience with square-bound books. Again, the staples affecting the covers is considered a production issue. I have worked on, and seen copies of this book with the staples popping through the cover get 9.4. The short answer is yes, a proper dry cleaning and press will benefit this book. On a side note, always show both covers as we are making an assessment on only 50% of the comic
  2. I wasn't referring to popularity. I was focused on price point, but if done properly She-Hulk could be a great show.
  3. Almost 100%. Still have a little tingling in the right leg where the nerves are regenerating. Other than that I feel like a new person.
  4. You have some mild dirt, but the rest of the "stains" is actually foxing. No amount of dry cleaning will remove that. CGC will deduct for this amount of foxing. I would say you are in the 5.0 to 5.5 range if it is cleaned and pressed properly.
  5. I see at least two color breaks on the spine (from the picture). While over graded books do happen, I see this as a 9.6 at best, assuming it has no other defects.
  6. I ask Bob stupid questions at shows...just to annoy him.
  7. The Canadian dollar will be so low by then, Ill double my money.
  8. If the show is rescheduled for the late summer I,may actually stay a few extra days to see Banff. I may even join Andy by eating a plate of nothing but vegetables.
  9. On a book of this grade it wont get hit as hard as a NM book, but they will deduct for that much ink.
  10. Sorry, I don't have any sketches based on DC characters.
  11. Anthony Castrillo piece of Werewolf By Night defeating Moon Knight. $100.00
