GRADE IS IN! PGM Star Wars #1 2 2

[Real Frantic One]

Got an interesting copy of Star Wars #1 and I'm curious to see what anyone else thinks about the grade. Just a couple of spine ticks with sharp corners, but there are a few problem areas that don't break color. Any thoughts on how CGC will grade this?

9.2

A press may help a bit.

Thanks for sharing. I was just thinking yesterday we haven't graded one of these in a while. (And my copy is currently on display so cool.)

9.2 minimum , hopefully higher

Don't know how CGC will grade it, but I'll give it a 9.4 after a solid press...maybe by an independent presser.

Those pen induced defects will press out...at least 9.4

Here's the grade!

Great result. Did you press book in the end?

I pressed it multiple times and used a few techniques. Paper fibers were damaged though. I also had to deodorize it.
