Would you agree on the prospects of a positive ROI on cleani/press? Are they still allowing walk-in evaluations and drop offs in Sarasota? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's a solid book with no real obvious flaws (tears, pieces missing, rusty staples etc). Page quality seems bright. I would think it would be a good candidate for a clean/press. ROI is a given.

I will get a clean/press and submit for grading. I appreciate the input of all that contributed. Merry Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Shauer Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Problems spine-side and top of back cover. It's a rare "Red Star" version so that's a plus. Don't know how much pressing will help. Think it would grade out in the 6.0 - 7.0 range but have had hundreds of Playboys graded by CGC and the final grade seems to depend on who the grader is, some being more harsh (or lenient) than others & don't forget that for every Playboy they grade, they grade a thousand comic books: ergo, Playboys are not their thing. Hope this helps and good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps and good luck. Thanks for your input. Much appreciated. I had CGC grade #1 a couple years ago and The iconic MM issue graded at 5.0 due to a color breaking crease on the cover. I suspect this will grade a few notches higher but I understand your point regarding consistency. I will report back in a couple months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
