SpideyAZ Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) I'm sending this one in tomorrow. I'm hoping for a minimum of a 9.0. Will a pressing get me there? Edited May 17, 2021 by SpideyAZ update Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) That's a tough one. Those look like chips in the third to last picture. Those, and that very obvious spine crease put it at an 8.5 for me...along with what I think are ink rubs/stains in spots around the white border. A press might clean it up a bit, but it won't help those issues. A 9.0 is possible. If you've already sent it in...good luck. If not, it's a toss up...IMO.

PINWHEEL Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I'd say an 8.0, maybe 8.5 with a good press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed I've had books with a quarter inch tear but otherwise pristine come back at 9.0/9.2. This book has an outside chance at 9.0 with press and clean. As it stands, closer to 8.0 than 9.0 Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theCapraAegagrus Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I think it has 8.5 potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpideyAZ Posted May 17, 2021 Author Share Posted May 17, 2021 (edited) I was shocked but well received. My shop pressed the hell out of the book. Edited May 17, 2021 by SpideyAZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
