Louis Fletcher Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Hey buddy, can you spare a grade? If I was to get this graded, should I have it pressed? Sorry for the low-quality photos it's the best I can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Probably in the 9.0-range. I am not keen on pressing, but, I think it would be improved with a press? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too think its about a 9.0, with a good chance at 9.2 with a press, and an outside shot at 9.4 on a good day and a really good presser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExNihilo Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 If you're patient, you're better off just buying a graded copy on eBay. I bought a 9.8 copy of 608 for under $50. I see recent sales going for around the same price. When you factor in the cost of grading and shipping to/from, the cost for you to submit a book with an uncertain grade would be more than that.
