PGM ASM 300 3 3

It will be getting cleaned and pressed. Can I get an estimate on its current grade and how you think a clean/press would affect it?

I’m hoping I come out ahead on this one. 

Thanks so much!

Come out ahead of what?

Not a 9.8. A clean might get a 9.4. There is some ink loss to some of the edges and smudging/a scratch on the bottom right corner. Safely, I would call it 9.2-9.4

Edges reduce the grade, looks like a 9.4 to a possible 9.6

Very hard to get a 9.8 on this. Needs zero color loss on the spine and corners.

A manufactured cut on the spine corners are the only thing acceptable for a 9.8.

Sorry, come out ahead in regard to price paid for the lot of comics I bought. If it comes back 9.2 or better I’m golden.

9.2 as is after 9.4

Thanks for all of the opinions. She’s being shipped off in the morning for a press and clean, and from there straight to get graded. I’ve paid to have everything rushed so I’m hoping it will be sooner rather than later. I’ll update as soon as it comes back.

Sharp book; doesn’t even look like a press is needed but,

A press might get this to a 9.4.  9.2 as is...
