Krismusic Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 with a good press and clean I would be at 8.5 as there a corner crease some chipping on FC edge spine rippling. not sure if there's a stain or dirt if dirt than ok with 8.5 but if its a stain maybe lower.

theloveforart Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I would say a 7.5 to a 8.0 after a press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krismusic Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 actually taking a second look I would maybe put it at a 7.5 after press missed the tape pull or damage on colossus head and the creases near it, pressing wont help that migmtl76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattn792 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 7.0 - 7.5 after a press. It will also depend on who does the pressing, the squarebounds can be tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But definitely focus on average. Occasionally a really high or low (auction) sale will go through. Krismusic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Occasionally a really high or low (auction) sale will go through. personally I use GPA but will on occasion look at E bay completed sales. GPA I find shows the data in a faster easier to read look with a year and 90 day average hi and low which allows me to make my judgements and bid or buy accordingly. migmtl76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm looking for fast an easy, I sometimes go to mycomicshop.com. Search on a title and click the "Sales Data" tab. But I sell quite a bit on consignment with them, so maybe that's why I'm inclined to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grib Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 My guess is 7.0 or 6.5. The mark of white damage on colossus head I think is part of the cover coloring, its on all book. The tape pull is one defect but the real big ones I see are light water stains on back and the color break on left black line, scratches on Colossus and top right corner. A good cleaning and a press will help big time. Might go then as high as 7.5. But I'm guessing migmtl76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WPPJames Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, mattn792 said: the squarebounds can be tricky I was wondering about this as well. Seems like it would be more difficult to "press out" a curl on a book with a firmer spine. 7.0 my guess as is. With a C&P, maybe a 7.5. But it's a high end book, so I'd go with the C&P and hope it helps. If not, you haven't lost much % value of the book.

WPPJames Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Looking closer, I'm leaning more towards a 6.5 now as is. Again, closer look, no idea how much a C&P will upgrade it. But I'd definitely still go for that. Risk vs Reward would be high. migmtl76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a number of subtle non color breaking creases on the cover that should press out. But, no reason not to keep your expectations at 6.5, then you can be pleasantly surprised if it comes back higher. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
