Also, please let me know if you would sub or not sub and lock away until a later upgrade. Comic has been pressed. the back cover marks do not bleed past the back cover thanks for the feedback!

Now let me ask you.Why would you press a comic like this,just curious.

6.0. I feel like the back could be cleaned a bit to improve the appearance and grade.

May get slightly cleaner, but I really don't think a press is going to help.

 

I'm worried about those stains on the back. As it is now, it's a 5.5

I didn't see it prior as it was purchased pressed (the LCS has their own pressing service and they take full advantage of that by pressing their issues to boost the grade and sale. I imagine any number of pressable defects that it could have had beforehand (spine roll, nail indentations, who knows, etc.)

With that said 5.0

are there methods to actually clean a comic that doesn't 'formally' include restoration?

6.0 IMHO! Stain kills it!

3.5-4.0

 

That's a water stain on the back cover in the upper corner, which most probably goes through the book into the enclosed pages.

Try Wonder bread.

Or send it off to a professional for cleaning. Yes it is non restorative. You want the book to appear higher than a 6 for it to be dropped to a 6 for the stain.

This. It also appears that it may have had a sub-crease (look at the soiling on the BC). Why anyone would press a dirty book is beyond me. The LCS must just press all day long in the back room. I would avoid that store like the plague.
