Right in the middle: should CGC at 6.0, maybe one tic less if they hit the bottom rhc crease hard. Press won't do much to smooth out that threadbare spine, though may be worth a try.

ROBTOTHEC Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 When did everyone start posting so many pics as opposed to scans? It's hard to grade from your pics but that spine is pretty rough and that lower left corner bothers me. I would say 5.0 IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Baru Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I'd go a 5.0. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of that spine wear is more evident edge on than face front. Reminds me of many "Constanzaed" books that had spine realignment therapy (that has not been done here). The more that spine wear is centralized to the edge of the spine, or slightly to the back cover, the less CGC will ding the grade because of it, and this is a book with tremendous paper quality, pedigree-like colors. These eye-appeal factors will impact the grading at CGC and skew the grade up either to 5.5 as is, or 6.0 if a press is done and it's at all successful in flattening, or battening down some of those spine kicks and fractures.

DR.X Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 would be nice to see full size scans and maybe some info on the inside. centerfold well attached? torn page? inside cover condition? the more info the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysterymachine Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Looks 5.5- but if that is a fold on the upper back cover then I would take it down a grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
