Batman #181 first app of poison ivy

Hi, I am new to the threads. I have recently purchased this Batman #181 and would like to know y'alls thoughts on grade. Has off white pages and 1 inch X 1 inch square piece missing from 2nd page (does not interrupt story or artwork at all) I am thinking of pressing and cleaning. Thanks for your time and thoughts

I'm a total novice so my 2 cents isn't even worth that, but to my untrained eye, I'd guess 5.

There are no pieces missing but the book has a LOT of general wear. Did you check if the poster is there and intact ? The stain (dust shadow ?)on the BC hurts. Even with a press, I think it's 4.0 tops . I would not dry clean it as it might induce new tears.

Pin up was the first thing I checked lol. It Is in perfect condition. Thanks for your input, my comic book dealer is the one who actually recommended getting it cleaned as there Is alot of surface dirt, I have never used the service.

Regarding the cleaning, the comic is rubbed with a dry eraser. Obviously the surface of your comic is not smooth with many creases and wrinkles. You would have to be very, very careful.

Oh no I wouldn't dare I'm gonna send it off. Maybe the press will iron out some of the wrinkles? Either way I paid 120 for it so I don't really think i overpaid if it comes out a 3.0

im saying 3.5

Probably a 3.0 if graded.  They will hit the all over wear on the front cover very hard.  Back doesn't look too bad so maybe 3.5 on a good day.

Thanks 1 cool, I'm hoping the press will put it at a 4.0 but I know I'm stretching my optimism lol. Realisticly I'm thinking 3.5, thanks for the input guys its greatly appreciated
