[Hooch is crazy]

Could benefit from a clean and press. The back is a bit dirty and one of the back corners has a crease.

[marvelmaniac]

I cannot answer your questions pertaining to cleaning and pressing since I do not have that done.

What I see is...

Blunted/Slightly Folded Corners, Edge Wear, Wrinkling At Top Edge, Minor Spine Stress Lines, Rear Corner Crease, Dust/Oxidation Shadow on Rear Cover (?)

IMO, the book presents nicely enough to be graded a...

7.0 FINE/VERY FINE (FN/VF):  Back to Top
An above-average copy that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with outstanding eye appeal. A small accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor cover wear beginning to show, possibly including minor creases. Corners may be blunted. Inks are generally bright with a moderate reduction in reflectivity. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. Minor foxing. The slightest spine roll may be present, as well as a possible moderate color break. Staples may show some discoloration. Slight staple tears and a small accumulation of light stress lines may be present. Slight rust migration. Paper is cream to tan. Centerfold is mostly secure. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present.

I just wanted to chime in and ask if that definition is from Overstreet, since Overstreet is different than CGC when it comes to grading books. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong though as Overstreet may have updated there old grading standards.

7.0

C&P to 7.5. It could possibly get an 8.0 if that back cover gets a real good cleaning.

Thanks for sharing.

No, it is from Heritage Auctions...

IMO, since nobody actually knows what CGC's grading standards are how can you say that they are the same or different from others???, the only way to know is submit a book and wait for it to come back, I will stick with Overstreet and Heritage.

Well, you could simply compare CGC graded books and grading notes with descriptions of grades from Overstreet to see the difference. If you want to use Heritage Auctions description of what a 7.0 CGC book will be then I'm not trying to stop you. I was just wondering, since you are posting a definition of 7.0 Fine which as you yourself admit,  CGC doesn't have publicly defined. 

[Zegeroth]

7.0.  A good press will take the back top right bend sway.  Will be 8.0 after

[Galen130]

7.0

[Funnybooks]

7.0 as iis

8.0 after C&P
