FlyJ Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 All feedback welcome and appreciated, my initial impression is 8.5 and maybe if I could press out the back a 9.0 (let me know if im even close!)...Thanks Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Elf Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 (edited) I don't know from pressing, but I'd say you're pretty close to an 8.5, but the lower right of the back cover is kind of a problem area (and then the bend on the front cover in the line of fire). 8.0 for sure, maybe 8.5 as is--but no more than that.

grendelbo Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 8.0 C&P for 9.0, maybe a tad higher. Thanks for posting. FlyJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I'm a bit lower than you guys... soft crease on front, rippling/stain on the back. 7.0/7.5 range... pressing might lift it into the 8s but I certainly wouldn't submit it.

FlyJ Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 @Point Five as I am new to this i not disagreeing but if i got this book for £5 ($6.75) I assume getting it pressed and graded would cost around $50. I see them being (9.0) sold for around ($150-170) which would mean i would get $90+ at current prices. To be honest my intention isn't to get graded but im looking at my collection and due to the fact I got them cheap I thought grading some to sell that i don't want make sense. Like I said im new to this whole grading etc so feel free to correct me if im wrong...I even saw an 8.5 recently sell for $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the others here, I think 8.0/8.5 is probably more realistic after a press. But let's say it can possibly hit 9.0. The cost to ship the book, have it pressed (at CGC?), have it graded and return shipped to you is probably more like $100-125. (Maybe more since you're in London?) You'd wait months and months and if nothing went wrong have a shot at *possibly* squeezing out $30 to $50 in profit. Personally, I would just sell it raw for $30 or whatever and call it a day. Possibly if you're sending in a large batch the overhead would be less, but it seems like a great expenditure of your *time* as well as your money for very little payoff.

FlyJ Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 @Point FiveThanks for advice mate , regarding the cost I'm going to try get that down as there is now a CGC in London which someone else told me does drop offs and its like 20 mins from my house. I have a guy ho presses for decent prices so I will see how it looks after and get everyone's thoughts. I like having my old books so my intention isn't to grade and sell was just wondering costs etc so I can see if I have any worth doing so with. Thanks Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks If you do get it cleaned and pressed, I would be interested in seeing the results, since I have no idea how much that kind of process can help.

Galen130 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 C&P to 9.0-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funnybooks Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 9.2 after C&P unless that's moisture damage on the back wrap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
