Jemin Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I'm not sure what these markings are. There are white "stains" and a black substance. There are no raised areas that would indicate dirt that could be cleaned. Could it be mold or water spots? Wanted to submit for grading and possible clean and press but if the cp doesn't improve the book then it really is a waste of time and money, correct?

theCapraAegagrus Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Some sort of ink rub/transfer. Funnybooks and silverseeker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's what I thought when I initially seen the black markings along the lower spine. But I'm not sure what the white stains are on the upper spine and legs. Do you think a clean and press would remove these issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some areas have ink transfer and some have color rub that resulted in a loss of inks. The ink transfer will clean up, but the rest will not.

Galen130 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I shared my concerns with @Jemin about the soiling/ink transfer near the FC spine in PGM. I didn't notice the color loss, just the transfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
