Let me know what you think and if C+P could be worthwhile

I cannot answer your questions about a clean and press since I do not use this service.

As the book sits right now all I see is minor corner wear, slight/minor stress lines, slight foxing on the outer edge of the front cover and on rear cover.

9.0 VERY FINE/NEAR MINT (VF/NM):  Back to Top
Nearly perfect with outstanding eye appeal. A limited number of bindery/printing defects are allowed. Cover is almost flat with almost imperceptible wear. Inks are bright with slightly diminished reflectivity. An 1/8" bend is allowed if color is not broken. Corners are cut square and sharp with ever-so-slight blunting permitted but no creases. Several lightly penciled, stamped or inked arrival dates are acceptable. Very minor foxing. Spine is tight and flat. Staples may show some discoloration. Only the slightest staple tears are allowed. A very minor accumulation of stress lines may be present if they are nearly imperceptible. Paper is off-white to cream and supple. Very minor interior tears may be present.

Anyone else have a thought on the grade?

Great-looking book! Not sure what to do with all the foxing; I know CGC gives a pass to that stuff but there is quite a bit of it. 8.5/9.0 range feels about right. At least in the scans, not seeing obvious defects that C&P would improve.

I'd go 8.0... maybe 8.5.

I don't think pressing will help, but a dry clean may improve eye appeal with back cover. Frankly, you can do that yourself with a white art eraser and a gentle hand.

yeah the foxing blows, the scan is very representative of the book. Thanks, man!

Dunno about a C&P helping.

Thanks for sharing.

7.5/8.0.  Too much foxing…

Nice looking book in the VF range.  

I don't now much about cleaning and pressing, but I assume you would only get it pressed if it has non-color breaking finger dents or dings...which you can't really tell from a scan.

8.0

not worth a C&P
