9.8 OF a tough key in grade!

[Moondog]

Presser's delight with all that white along the spine.

 

Yep.

 

I know very little about pressing, but I've been under the impression that glued covers on annuals prevents the spines from being pressed. Have the pressers figured this out too?

Presser's delight with all that white along the spine.

Yep.

You thinking it will come back a 10?

 

I wouldn't attempt CPR on this book. Maybe if it was 9.6, you shoot for the 9.8. 9.9/10 is a total carpshoot.

 

Also, aren't the squarebounds more difficult to press?

 

It was a joke, son. I mourn your loss of brain cells.

The strong ones have survived. I have no need for the ones that didn't make it.

Buy the book, not the grade. I like it, but I would treat it more like a 9.6.

[pickycollector]

but does the spine overlay bother you?

I would not even pay 9.4 price for that book. Sure the label says "9.8" but then what ?

 

Buy the book, not the label

[DrWatson]

I would. It's a pretty book.

I would. It's a pretty book.

 

I would as well, and then flip it for a tidy profit.

No one would purchase it from you because of your dealer ratings.

I'm in the process of putting together a full set of ASM annuals & this one would SURE look good at the top. But, alas, there's just no way that I could afford this particular book.

When I eventually get my hands on an ASM ANNUAL #1, it'll be a lower graded copy. Hell, it pobably won't even be graded at all.

[pickycollector]

I would as well, and then flip it for a tidy profit.

 

You would because it is sitting in a 9.8 case. Crack it out of its case and without knowing it got a 9.8 I am sure that your answer will be different.

 

Again, it is all about buying the book or the label.

Yes, they have it all figured out.

 

Without getting into any trade secrets, how does the presser not squish the spine or compromise the glue if pressure and heat are applied?

Very carefully. Improperly pressed squarebounds are no longer squarebound. If the spine is more "V" shaped compared to flat it was done wrong.

Just think if all this talent and ingenuity was directed toward doing good for the world!
