But erase the soiling from the back cover upper spine margin's creases and press for a solid 6.0, maybe 6.5 if the entire back cover margin's soiling is address and remedied and the creases respond well to the press and the soiling all comes out.

So getting it pressed and cleaned is the way to go ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking of getting it slabbed anyway. Getting the first 19 issues slabbed . Then seeing about other issues Randall Ries 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with DD coming to the proper MCU? It’s already a $100 or so book , no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s already a $100 or so book , no? It's a key, but fairly common in the 5 to 6.5 grade range. The going freight for 9.0 and up would have to dramatically increase to nudge the price on middle grade ranges by an appreciable amount.

B2D327 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) 5.5 o/w pages and you’d get dinged hard for the dirt on the back cover. A good clean/press might bump it to 6.0 Edited December 15, 2020 by B2D327 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 You're call on clean/press. The book will benefit from it, but is it worth the cost to you if it's going into your collection. 5.0 before, 6.0 after...IMO. Empir3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
