iexx Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Hi all, I'm planning on sending this in for a press and grading. Can a press re-align the spine so it's more symmetrical? Also what grade before after? Thanks, Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Without Beer Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 That spine is common to the issue. Yours has better corners than mine (7.0) with the same spine. I think you can get an 8.0 as is and maybe a pressing can help those indents for an 8.5 or possibly 9.0. As for the spine. Don't mess with it. Nice book.

theCapraAegagrus Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 8.5 as-is. Looks like the spine and pages are properly aligned, just cut at an angle. Deadpoolica 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iexx Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 Thank you for the wise advice. I won't mess with the spine. I probably wouldn't have, but you saved me from doing something dumb, 👍 The Man Without Beer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
