migmtl76 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) This is a nice looking copy. Top is misaligned but this is frequent for this book I noticed. I think it has a shot at 9.0 if pressed and cleaned. Thoughts ? Thanks ! Edited July 14, 2020 by migmtl76 1950's war comics and Galen130 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galen130 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I agree with pressing. Are the staples clean? Pics are a bit dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nice looking copy which could be significantly improved with the right person doing the work. It appears to be a good candidate for an upgrade... migmtl76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhialtoTheMarvellous Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 It's hard to see many flaws on it. It's at least a 9.0. The only thing I notice is some slight bends at the top and bottom edges and then the little bit of creasing at the spine near the top. I can't see any reason the flaws I see wouldn't press out and then you have something in the mid to high 9s. migmtl76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysterymachine Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 It shouldn't have any problem getting 9.0 with a press. I wouldn't be surprised if it grades higher. migmtl76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
