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.

Goof point anything higher than 6.5 would be awesome. I'm hoping 7.0 however to make it worth the cost I paid for it.

how much someone is willing to pay.

you can also use sites like GPA to get a price for graded books or ebay sold listings to get a average. 

I use Go Collect and look at the most recent sales data. Sometimes the FMV is off. There are also some freak sales (too high generally)

I paid 1 000 $ was that a fair price in your opinion ?

I may be low but I thought it presented as a 6.0 to a 6.5, a press may take it to a 7.0.

Hi mattn792. Can I trust CGC would do a good pressing and cleaning job on a squarebound book?

I’ll put it this way - I had an outside source clean & press my last GSX 1.  I usually only trust CCS with my modern books.

Can you please refer me to a trusted outside source ? Thanks

No grade was estimated. The seller knows little about comics so I thought maybe I got  a deal ?

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

That mark on Colossus head is a manufacturer defect.

Here is a quick pic of my copy so shouldn't affect grade.
