FlameoftheWest Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Should I get this book pressed before i send for grading? The crease on the back cover (shown in photo) is a manufacturer error i guess? Its a really tight copy, the book is clean and white inside.

Gnasher Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I don't think a press is worth it, that top middle c/b crease isn't going to improve. you've a 7.0/7.5 copy. See how it goes with more input N.B. if your post starts to drop down the page, don't be frightened to bump it up, so it gets graded.

theCapraAegagrus Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 7.5 IMO. FlameoftheWest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 7.0...IMO. FlameoftheWest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCOComics Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 6.5 in my opinion I don't see much that a press would help. Nice, presentable, copy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC Star&Bar Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 That's definitely a wrinkle in the paper from the book's printing process, and not a rare occurrence I might add. Very nice copy -- 7.0 ? FlameoftheWest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmbassadorSlip Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 7.25 and I'd measure it left to right. Is that book trimmed? Prolly not, but It can't hurt to measure real quick. Still learning about pressing so I'll say that I'd get pro advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Ries Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 7.0-7.5 That is a nice book. I think it's just miswrapped or miscut at the factory. AmbassadorSlip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowtown Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 the outside corners do look awfully sharp, so possible trim. 6.5 (I'd go 7.0 or a bit higher if not for the damage on the top edge of the cover) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just miswrapped or miscut at the factory. Can't be a miswrap due to the fact that the line between back c and front are delineated by a hard color change, and you can see that line is aligned well at spine. Could be miscut. I have sooooooooooo many miscuts. That dude should have been fired, or at least given better scissors.

joeypost Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I could see a 7.5. Book has great eye appeal. Too bad about the thumb crease top edge and the soft corner front cover. FlameoftheWest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
