So I bought this advertised as a VF- to VF. On the cover there are some(1 or 2) creases towards the left that run from the bottom towards the top left. I can see the one crease or indentation from the inside of the front cover as well. Would like opinions on grade as it stands as is, as well as if a press/clean would take care of those creases and what potentially I could expect as a grade post press. To me it looks like a 6.5 - 7.0 as is but who knows....

 

Thanks in advance!

Tough book to grade. That full length crease running top to bottom is going to really hammer the grade on this IMO. Some damage to that bottom outside corner too. With such a long crease I'm in the 5.5/6.0 camp. That crease is just to considerable.

Ugh. Candidate for press though?

[DR.X]

no way. thats not going to remove the crease. put it in a mylite and enjoy it.

Thanks.. Just bummed about overpaying a bit.. Glad to have in my collection though.

6.0 unpressed and if pressed and could take that light book length crease out maybe 8.0

[DR.X]

that crease breaks color. I've never seen pressing take out a color breaking crease.
