Serpentor Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) Being a fan of 90's Valiant, this has been on my wish list for awhile. I finally picked up a decent copy. I have updated this post with my own photos and am no longer using the ebay pics. What do you guys think? Estimates for grades before and after a press are welcomed. Based on my experience with books that I have had pressed, the following defects should be totally resolved by pressing: very slight spine roll, slight roll in book on lower right (visible in the pic of the full front cover), non-color breaking crease in 12 cent area, non-color breaking crease near area that says PIN-UP NO. 1. Overall, there is a lot about this book that can be cleaned up very nicely with a press. Spine ticks will remain but will be minimized. I think it has a good shot at 7.5 OW/W.

Post some pics when you get it please. The back cover is the artwork from the front cover without any titles. Pics 1,2,8,9,10 show the front and pics 3,4,5,6,7 show the back.

namisgr Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I'd venture F/VF but there could be a number of flaws that aren't visible in the dark and sometimes blurry scans-in-bag provided. ComicConnoisseur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
