SpideyAZ Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) Won this at an auction. The slab is cracked and needs to be replaced. The book was graded at a 4.5. The grader's notes arecreases front cover breaks colorspine wear & stress breaks colormoisture ripples front & back coverlight stains back cover Will a press and clean push it to a 5.0+ at CGC? What grade would it earn? Edited November 19, 2021 by SpideyAZ Edited the pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpideyAZ Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) My plan is to open up the case (it's already cracked), press/clean, then submit to CGC. I'm looking for guidance of is it worth the effort? I apologize if I wasn't clear. The LCS I use for CGC has a pretty good presser. Nice one stop shop.

Deadpoolica Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I'd say it was accurately graded....could get a bump up, or down SpideyAZ and Mars76 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glassman10 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 After "Miracle on 34th Street", one might think that the notion of what's good for Gimbals is good for Macy's. Sadly, not the case. It doesn't serve the collectors at all and I wish they could see that. MAR1979 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars76 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I may be wrong but I dont see it getting into 5.0 territory. I know it was graded at a 4.5 but it looks like a 4.0 to me. SpideyAZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Ries Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 If it were pressed and cleaned, I could see it reach 5.5. SpideyAZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpideyAZ Posted November 19, 2021 Author Share Posted November 19, 2021 Got this book back over the summer and completely forgot that I asked for advice. It came back as a 4.5. No change after a press. Jemin and grendelbo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
