Hey guys, I'm fairly new to comic grading and I wonder whether this book needs to be pressed or not. Would you guys be able to help me out with a current grade/post pressing grade rating? Is it even worth it to press?

I see some pressable defects. 4.0 to 4.5 for me.

Sorry for the ignorant question, but is the .5 grade bump from the pressing worth it?

I think you'll get a 4.0-4.5 with a press and clean. Lower without.

My main concern here is the inherent fragility of vintage DC comic books. They're rather notorious for popped staples, even without being pressed. Also, there does seem to be some fairly noticeable wear to the spine, especially near the staples. I'd have to carefully weigh the pros and cons before having this one pressed...
