wheelz86 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) Thanks in advance for any feedback on this. I think I'm probably gonna press and slab this. It's been sitting in my collection in my basement and I think it would look nicely mounted somewhere. Outside of a tick on the back and a small one on the front I think it shows very well. Sorry for the glare on a the pictures. I am still trying to learn the best way to take photos for grading.

KCOComics Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 The corners look blunted. Slight spine roll maybe? And a few spine tics I'll say 8.0 as is with a chance to improve to a 9.0 after a press. wheelz86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the blunting effect may be from shadows from my photographs. As for the spine roll you are probably right about that. Definitely pressing before grading. Thank you for the feedback.

Funnybooks Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 9.0 perfect book to submit for a press I think a press will solidify this book in the nm range with a chance at 9.2 wheelz86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheelz86 Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 Thanks to everyone for their grades. Happy with the grade. A 9.8 would've been nice but not too shabby. Galen130, Nick H (UK), CHASEnBLUE and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheelz86 Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 If this is frowned upon please let me know and I will take it down. Here are videos of 8 books that I took before I sent them to be cleaned, pressed, and graded and a video after I got them back to see I how accurately I graded them. Before: One late addition: Grade reveals: They are long as a tried to take my time going over the books but it was good practice for me and I got to use some of the practice I had from lurking around here and seeing how others grade. Thanks for your time. Point Five, silverseeker and DocSaum 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your time. Cool videos and always work on your grading however you can. It is fun to review and see which you hit and which you miss. Nice books btw. wheelz86 and Mars76 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a bunch of books from when I was a teen but got out of the hobby for a couple of decades. When I got back in, I had missed a lot including grading and pressing. Still a novice by far but learning is fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
