JennyG13 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Pictures from my perspective are a fair representation of the book. Thank you in advance for your help/expertise. No missing pages, can easily flip through book. Value stamp present. Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Ries Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Aaaaah. The back cover kicks it in the dink. I see a sub crease down the BC but none on the front. I would go with 6.5 before a good press and clean. Maybe 9.0 if it came out well! Nice, popping book, though! JennyG13 and Funnybooks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Dositheus Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I'll say 6.0. JennyG13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennyG13 Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Do any of you think that crease has any chance of coming out with a press? This would be my first experience having a comic pressed and graded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Am The Answer! Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 The Answer is: 6.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lpgk Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 sub crease. 8.0 after press JennyG13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 6.0 with crease, which pressing won't fix completely with ink-breakage. JennyG13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComicSpa Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Color breaks especially long ones will decrease the value for sure. I clean and press for clients and it’s still a very nice book. The back cover needs a cleaning. The red area at the top shows the color break the most. Can’t do anything about that. If pressed a few times l would be curious if the yellow area wasn’t as bad. The black letters in the folded yellow area are not showing color breaks. Same for the white area. I’ve seen my share of these. The tanning on the bottom though does not look like dirt. Not sure even an aqueous bath of calcium hydroxide would lighten it. It looks exposed to light. The front shows nothing from the fold. Lucky there! Best case… fold presses out and yellow area (after cleaning) shows no sign of damage….7.0. Fingers crossed! Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyG13 Posted April 1, 2023 Author Share Posted April 1, 2023 It's been a long time - but this was finally graded at a 5.5. Figured folks who took the time to estimate would want to know. Slightly disappointed, but what can you do. I had it pressed and cleaned. Grader notes: subscription crease back cover breaks color very light staining all over front cover grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travizb Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Man! What a beautiful looking book, but as others had said, that sub crease f'd the grade. 5.5 seems reasonable. JennyG13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolidShredder Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 It breaks my heart but 6.0 because of the sub crease. That copy is so nice too. Pressing won't get rid of it either : ( On the bright side, this will be the best looking 6.0 on the market so it'll fetch the high end of the CMV might even sell above it's grade a bit.
