PGM: GAY 26

[gadzukes]

Nice comic. Feels/smells fresh. Pages are White. This has not been pressed. How high do you think it could go with a press?

 

What looks like a crease by Millie's head is just a hair or something laying on the comic. Also, what looks like color loss in the boy thigh is just a printer error. Also, the dark blob in the middle of the back cover is printer error too.

With a press do you think this could hit 9.0? Doesn't CGC allow a few more defects for Golden Age comics.

I think you have a good chance (post press) at an 8.5-9.0, nice book.

The only question I would have is how you can be sure these flaws you are pointing out are all printing errors ? More importantly, would CGC agree. In either case CGC may still downgrade.

Personally, I don't think it should grade out higher than an 8.5 . Is it worth the investment to press and submit ? It's a cool book, rare, and overall nice eye appeal. It should sell well as is.

Nice looking copy. I wouldn't be surprised at a 9.0 after a press.

I looked at them with a jewelers loupe. The blob on the back was absolutely not added at a later date. It matches the black inks around it 100%. When you look at the color loss on the boys thigh under high magnification you can see that the ink "didn't take" or was thin in that spot (definitely not a scrape).
