grayzr Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Hope these pictures are enough to get an idea of what grade this book would be. The line on the bottom of the back cover is just a foxing stain, it is completely flat. Also the top of the book has a crease that goes threw the entire book. The crease does not tear the front, interior or back. I was wondering if this could be pressed out? Thanks for taking a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davet75 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) This is a bit tough to grade. Initially appears very nice. The approx 1" crease through the entire book and the extensive staining/soiling (always harshly graded) on the back cover and light stains on the front cover near robin's cape and "two face" will likely knock this down quite a bit. I'm guessing: CGC 6.0, possibly 6.5 as is Would definitely benefit from a clean and press. If you can press out the entire book crease and that soiling cleans off then you're in the VF range Edited January 5, 2019 by davet75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1950's war comics Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 i think the staining will bring it down to 5.0 FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got me thinking, how harsh is cgc on foxing over staining that looks similar to foxing? I'm assuming stains are hammered more then light foxing right?
