joeypost Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Here's one that should be fun. Picked this up a few years ago cheap. Figured it would be a project one day, and today is the day. Will send it in this week to be graded so it will be a while before I post the final results. Scan is before pressing. Will not have a post pressing scan. Want to test everyone's skills a little bit here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theCapraAegagrus Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 5.0 IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicquant Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I think once its pressed it'll look dramatically different. What looks like a readers crease now is actually the fold crease. I think that would have a shot at a 7.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joosh Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 You’ve fixed worse. My Iron Man 1 was even more twisted than this book and you made it dead on. 7.0 after press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR.X Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 this is a tough one. that's quite a bit of color breaking vertical creasing along the spine and some horizontal breaks to. I'm in the 5.0 camp. Maybe I'll run into you in Chi Town this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kav Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 As is 4.5 after press 6.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davet75 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) 5.0 as is. After the magic, probably 6.5 - 7.0 judging from your other works (The amazing job on Fantastic Four 5 comes to mind). Edited March 20, 2019 by davet75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua33 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 As is 4.5. 6.5 after press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordRahl Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 6.0 for me. Even if you move that huge vertical crease from the front cover to the apex of the spine, you are then going to have a huge vertical crease on the back cover from the current fold of the spine. Transverse creases aren't going anywhere but they might be "hidden" a bit by moving the main crease. The rest of the book is really nice but I'm still thinking nothing higher than a 6.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bababooey Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 All those cb creases are going right to the spine 8.0/8.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CycleGirl Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I think that the creasing can be minimized but not hidden completely because it's too far from the black line that separates the front and back cover graphics to put it right on the crease. I'll say 6.0 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
