 As it now stands I would estimate the book at 5.0 to 5.5. The cover gloss is outstanding, so it could go a bit higher.

Thanks, with that said, do you think a clean and roses could bump it to a 5.5-6.0?

I'm not sure about the roses, but a clean and press might being this book up to a 6.0. I would wait for some other opinions, as I am in the midst of having 2 books pressed now, but do not have the CGC grades of the books yet. In short I'm a newbie at what a clean and press can accomplish.

Gotcha. Thanks again, and good luck with your books.

I’m at 6.0 as is. I think this has 6.5 or dare I say 7.0 potential.

I would be thrilled with a 6.0! Thank you for your post.

You have light spine wear and that corner crease. Otherwise that thing is exceptional. I’m thinking Fine as I know GA books grade different. If it were from another era, 5.0 seems right but I think this has Fine potential for sure.

Grade different, as in a little easier?

Yeah usually that’s the case especially since your flaws are spine ticks and one crease really. The gloss and pepper quality looks very good on that book.

I do. It would eliminate those big creases on the cover. The issue you'll be stuck with then are the spine ticks, colour break crease on bottom right corner and staple tear, so I don't know how much higher than 6.0 it would go.

5.0-6.0

if you submit it to CGC i would also pay for a press ... expect a fine or better grade

@comicginger1789 wins the prize. It's a 7.0 with white pages.

 

I'm really happy with this grade, and pretty surprised too!

Assuming you had it pressed/clean correct?
