Hey guys, what do you think Dr Strange 1 will grade with a press? 4 4

I was inspired to buy it after the last trailer was released.   (And by inspired I mean FOMO). Thanks for any opinions. Notice the upper edge and lower edge of the cover. I think the cutter was dull. The colors are uneven, that is my shadow where it’s darker.

8.5, perhaps a bit higher with a cleaning.

8.0/8.5

I picked up a copy a year or so ago. The cover is amazing and is probably one of my top ten favorites of my collection from the BA.

Thanks for sharing.

Is Silver Dagger rumored to be in the MOM? Great character.

It looks 9.2 but I think that's a crease by the CCA stamp?  If it is, I'd say 8.0.  And a press wouldn't help a crease.

Fair question. It’s like a spiderweb. I think most of it will come out with a press, but I need a very skilled presser. I don’t think all of it will come out, but I really don’t know how to CGC will handle it after the press.  Also this book doesn’t need cleaning. I just had too many shadows in my prior photos. Here’s a better photo. In my humble opinion, after the press, it will be a 9.0 or a 9.2. My reasoning is that even if the press doesn’t fully remove the spiderweb, It will still be a better than some other book with “9.0 ticks” on the spine.

8.5/9.0

8.5 as is

If its not a crease 9.0+ easy. If it is 8.5 post crease.
