 Please grade this Shock Suspenstories 1. Could it benefit from a clean and press? Also what grade would it be with a clean and press? Thanks in advance.

major defects: front cover small color breaking creases and spine tics, edge wear with minor chipping, cover wear, back cover 3/4" x 1/4" piece missing, staining (long vertical stain and smaller spots) and foxing, large partial color breaking crease (this looks like a "printers crease" so may not count against grade).  the back cover is the limiting factor while the front presents higher than the technical grade.  looks like it was produced with only one staple?

CGC 4.0.  a skilled press and clean would likely net a 4.5 and possibly a 5.0

I was thinking 4.5

[theCapraAegagrus]

4.0 IMO.

[Point Five]

4.5 my guess. Nice one!

I am at 4.5. Too nice for a 4.0, and that piece missing on the back keeps it from 5.0 for me. Although, seeing as it is Golden Age, I could see CGC being nice and labelling it a 5.0. Without that piece, it definitely creeps darn close to the Fine range.

4.5

I like the 4.5...

Was thinking 5.0 but probably need to hit it harder for pobc missing.
