marvelmaniac Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I cannot help you with answers concerning a "clean and press" since I do not have it done so I know very little about it, what I see right now... Poorly trimmed lower edge, Color Rub and Staining, Blunted/Rounded Corners, Slight Edge Wear, Numerous Stress Lines W/Color Break. There is no serious creasing so could the book receive a higher grade? IMO this book is a VG/FN 5.0 - FN - 5.5 as it sits right now. 5.5 FINE- (FN-): Back to Top Fits the criteria for Fine but with an additional defect or small accumulation of defects that detracts from the book's appearance by a perceptible amount. 5.0 VERY GOOD/FINE (VG/FN): Back to Top An above-average but well used comic book. An accumulation of bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor to moderate cover wear apparent, with minor to moderate creases and/or dimples. Inks have moderate to low reflectivity. Blunted corners are increasingly common, as is minor to moderate staining, discoloration, and/or foxing. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. A minor to moderate spine roll is allowed. A spine split of up to 1/2" may be present. Staples may show minor discoloration. Minor staple tears and minor stress lines may also be present, as well as minor rust migration. Paper is tan to brown with no signs of brittleness. Centerfold may be loose. Minor interior tears may also be present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendelbo Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 4.5 C&P for 5.5. Nice date stamp. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 A cleaning would clean up a LOT of that dirt and a press would help some of the spine indents. I think 6.0 is obtainable after this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
