PGM Silver Surfer 4 - GRADE IS IN! 3 3

[Superfro33]

Lots of color breaking creasing on this one, but the biggest issue is the front page is about 3/4 split and loose from the bottom up. The back cover is split for about 1 /12" from the bottom. No other internal issues aside for some corner bends, but all pages are intact.

I feel like on its face I know where this lands, but I don't have a good grasp on seam splits and their impact. Also this one isn't a keeper, so I will be getting this graded just so I have an agreed on rating, but I'm also assuming a pressing won't really do anything for where this book is at currently and will probably just go with it as is. Any opinions on that aspect? 

Thanks!!

3.0/3.5 therabouts.

The book length color-breaking crease will get you into the VG range. So too will the nearly-detatched cover. Two major defects and an accumulation of other moderate defects (mostly more creasing).

Thanks for posting.

I’ll go 3.0. 👍

2.5 tops with nearly separated cover, still its worth a CGC slabbing ‼️👍😷

no need for a press and hope to get a 3.0 but be prepared for less.......

The front cover is 85% split along the spine (and very nearly detached from the interior).  Much of the glue that originally held the square-bound spine to the interior has lost its adhesiveness.  I have a hard time seeing how this one grades higher than a 1.5 FR/GD.

Thanks folks! I know it's low grade, but I love seeing the full coverage spread here. It went off today so can't wait to see where it falls!

Super quick turnaround on this! No clean, no press. Just went as is and hoped for the best. I'd say it ended up more than fair.
 

Thanks for all the input!!
