Stress lines on a 9.2 Should I have gotten this pressed or is it worth pressing? 0

[GPdude]

Newbie to grading. Just got a 9.2 on this due to: Bottom Spine Crunch, Left Top Back Cover Crease, Spine Stress Lines. Also cream to off-white pages. 
I think it's possible for pressing to help out the cover crease and possibly help the spine crunch a bit. However, I don't understand stress lines. Is it possible that if there's enough of them, in conjunction with the cream to off-white pages, that would still be enough to drag the grade down and not bring it up to a 9.4 after a pressing? Also, it's hard to see in the pics or I just have a hard time seeing those stress lines. Thanks for any insight everyone!

It would have helped but, based on what's in the pictures, I don't think it would have bumped you.

Thanks for your input. Still learning the grading curve and this helps a lot. Appreciate it!

I honestly think that this would get a higher grade after pressing. Is it worth it, though?

Sometimes a pressing will just make the book a better version of whatever grade it is...

Magazine grading can appear soft compared to comics, the book is bigger with more surface area for allowable flaws.   If that statement isn’t confusing than another way is you have more surface area without flaws than a comic.  Balance is achieved.

This book is upgradable.
