could this 9.2 comic grade a 9.8 if pressing these areas(>>)? 0

[j0b]

Looking at the grader notes, I received the following on my Marvel Preview #4. IF I had done the pressing service which would resolve these points (>>), by anyones estimates would it then be close to a 9.8 with the foxing the being the only factor? Not sure how much foxing comes into the points. Or could the foxing be resolved with the exterior pressing?

Interior Lite Multiple Foxing
>>Top Spine Small Crunch

What grade is it right now..?

Tough to make any calls without any images...

[The Lions Den]

From what I understand, light foxing is allowed in grades up to 9.4...

foxing and soiling are not resolved by pressing.

Your book is likely to stay a 9.2 or maybe become a 9.4.

Post some pics, it would help.

These are the scans they sent. I can see some discoloring on the back cover. Per their pressing service, states that dry cleaning can remove soiling, IDK, but as y'all have said that with 2 areas of foxing Im not sure if a press and regrade would be justified. Although the book value nearly doubles just going to 9.4. I'll try to take  a few close up pictures when i get it back today

Might get the bump after a cleaning. Whoever works on his book will need to know what they are doing.

Pics of the crunch and crease. I shouldve had the pressing w/ dry cleaning done first. New to the grading process. Gonna get tit done then resubmitted cause it'll bug me. Thanks for the insight, everyone

That corner will keep it from getting a 9.8.  I doubt it would get a bump in grade at all, since there is color breaking on the crunched corner.  Pressing might make it look better, but, not enough to bump the grade, I think.

I agree, resubmitting will be a waste of money but the OP seems to think pressing is magic so I wish him good luck.
