Linking the images due to larger file sizes

As shown in the 5th image, almost every page has a series of 3 holes at the bottom, however they appear to be a printing defect and not caused by anything afterwards. Not sure if that affects the grade. Almost positive I'm going to have pressed as well (unless anyone here thinks it doesn't need it). Thanks so much for your opinions. I am definitely submitting for grading so I will follow up with the results.

The holes aren't an issue. That's common. It's from the gripper at the printers. I'd give this an 8.0.

I would be ecstatic to have an 8.0. Do you feel it would benefit from a press?

I'm a little more cautious with it at 7.5

Honestly I wouldn't have this graded unless it has tremendous personal value to you. It's a common book. Even a 9.6 CGC could be had for around $50. If it had a shot at 9.8 I'd say get it graded.

Census only shows one 9.6 ever graded and 27 total. I should have specified in the title but this is the 35 cent variant. Estimated distribution is under 1000 copies.

I completely missed that .35 part lol. Nice! Yeah, totally worth it then! Nice find.

Yeah, I was going through comicspriceguide.com the last several weeks and inventorying my old collection when I just happened to notice there were two versions and looked at mine. I have no idea how I ended up with it since I never lived in one of the test cities, but out of my entire 1000+ collection from when I was a kid, including my ASM 238, 300, 361, this of all things is potentially my most valuable.

Looks like a 7.0 sold for $150 back in March. Nothing else recent other than a $50 4.0 in June.
