IbukiLord Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Hope this is in the correct place. I recently bought a New Teen Titans #2 and after looking at it in person it seems to be in really good condition, so I'm wondering if I should crack this, get it press, cleaned and submit it again. Unfortunately there are no grader notes on this but hopefully members with more experience in this may be able to give me more advice on it. I do know that this book has not been pressed or cleaned before, so it's possible it could get a grade bump. The major defect I can see is the top right corner, apologies for the pics, hard to take them in the slab but there is a small crease on the corner, not sure if this goes through the book as it is also visible on the back, this is my main concern which might keep it at a 9.0. The other 2 defects I can see are 2 small spine ticks, one above the top staple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I do not think that this one has any room for improvement. faster friends and IbukiLord 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funnybooks Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 (edited) May be worth a clean and a press on a book like this as a 9.2 would add significant value as there's little downside other than the costs involved. It appears to be all of the 9.0 that it was given and maybe not much more. Edited November 5, 2020 by Funnybooks IbukiLord 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbukiLord Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 Thanks, I only paid $50 for it which is why I'm thinking I should take the chance on it. It's all a learning process so might be fun to give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen books hit hard for the dirt on them and your copy looks like a cleaning would be a definite improvement judging from the back cover. How big a bump is anyone’s guess. The corner is hard to tell from the glare but would depend on if there’s color breaking. My Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeypost Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 You have a color breaking crease on both covers. It would be highly unlikely for the book to get a 9.2 with those defects. 9.0 was generous. Randall Dowling and kimik 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
