Venomous72 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I ordered a 5.0 ASM 3 yesterday, notes say ‘soiling on cover’. It’s not here yet in hand but I have a good scan, looks like a dirt smudge or something. (By docs leg) is this kind of thing worth sending in for a clean? It’s not graded by cgc and I want to get it in a Spidey label at some point. It displays so well that I don’t care really, just want to see if I could get a potential grade bump if I crack and send it to cgc with a clean and press.

revat Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I’d say it maxes at 6 but cleaned up likely a 5.5. If the value difference is worth it for half grade (which I think it is) up then do it. im not an expert on clean though, nor do I know how much pressing might be needed. but if you’re cracking it out anyways, post on the Please Grade my Comic subforum and solicit opinions first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure if a dry clean would lift that spot on the front. From the scan it looks like it is either dirt or grease and I’m not super familiar with dry cleaning tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a beautiful 5.0 (imo) and I should probably not mess with it. I do want it in a CGC Spidey slab tho djzombi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topnotchman Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 A back cover scan would help, soiling can often be seen on the white back cover easily. Front is very nice for a 5.0 and Spidy 3 is a great book. Venomous72 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
