PGM Luke Cage: Hero For Hire #1

[SeriousComic]

Hey...last one for the night. Id like to slab this. What do you think I could get for this? Thanks

[edit] I can't see the staples and it's hard to tell if it lies flat/doesn't have a spine-roll, but I'd put it in the neighborhood of 5.0-5.5.

[HighStakesComics]

Too low. Looks at least one grade nicer than the 6.0 that sold on the sales thread the other day.

6.5

back cover looks great

6.0

[SeriousComic]

Hey Everyone thanks for all the input. I have no experience with cleaning,pressing, etc. is there anything that I can do to this book to raise the grade? Thanks

[DavidTheDavid]

Yeah, get this one pressed. I'd say 6.5 as is, but could pull a half to point more no problem with a good press.

[jmh722]

+1

It can make a world of difference.

[SeriousComic]

Thanks Everyone. What exactly goes into pressing? The book lays pretty flat as is unless pressing is not what I think it is.

6.5-7.0.

6.5

Is the likely half point grade improvement for being pressed worth the cost of the press?

Thanks Everyone. What exactly goes into pressing? The book lays pretty flat as is unless pressing is not what I think it is.

I've been very happy with the work of Mike DeChellis at Hero Restoration. See his site here.

 

A lot folks here love Joey Post. You can find his site here..

 

Read up on pressing. Lots of info out there.

Thanks man! I appreciate it.

Would you say this process is worth it for this particular issue?

[DavidTheDavid]

I would, yes. I mean, if you intend to sell it, maybe not as you're increasing your costs. But it's a desirable book that looks, from what I can discern not having the book in hand, as if it'd benefit from a press.

What's going to press out of this that would bump? I'm not one to send books to have work done, but I'm seeing a ton of breaks on this book.

[SeriousComic]

Here is another copy that I have. I feel like it looks better overall in hand but there appears to be what looks like a production error on the front going down the middle from top to the "For". Also there is a spot by the "L". Which do you think would receive a better CGC grade? Here they are side by side:

 

 

 

 

Thanks

[oakman29]

That's no production error.

[SeriousComic]

That's no production error.

 

I meant I think the line down the E is a production error not the spot on the "L". Ive seen a few other copies floating around with that same line...
