Jim Fletcher Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Trying to determine if it is worth getting this comic graded (and if so grade) as it has some kind of stain on the back of the cover (you can feel the stain). Other than that it is (I believe) in lower/mid grade. I don't believe dry cleaning will remove this. Any help that you can give me I would appreciate. Happy New Year!

KCOComics Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I'll throw out to the experts, but could dry cleaning get that stain off? I imagine with a press and dry clean through cgc it could be NM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 IMO, way too much going on (stains, creases, rust at staples etc etc) for cleaning and grading to make sense. Front looks good, but I'd guess it's around 3.5/4.0 range. Deadpoolica 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go with his answer I was thinking you might be able to get the stains and creases out to drive up the grade, but the cost of doing that probably isn't warranted.

comicginger1789 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I am also around 3.0-3.5. Stains like that deter me like no other. I hate stains. Even the smallest water stain bugs me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCOComics Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Sorry guys, I got over excited! Didn't pay attention to the details. I'm a very optimistic grader I suppose. You couldn't imagine my shock when my NM copy of hulk 181 came back from CGC as a 6.5! Don't even get me started about my NM tales to astonish 24!!
