charmait Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Here's Amazing Spider-Man 545 (Marko Djurdjevic Variant Cover). I'll go out on a limb and say this one needs a press pretty bad due to the edge, but let me know. Thanks for looking! Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvelmaniac Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 That appears to be a stacking curl, I cannot answer your question on a press since I do not use this service. If the stacking curl were not present I would assign a grade of NM 9.4 (I will not assign a higher grade without the book being in front of me), with the stacking curl? The grading standards all the way down to VF/NM 9.0 state..."Spine Is Tight and Flat", how much of a hit does a NM 9.4 or NM+ 9.6 take with this?

grendelbo Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 If it's a stacking crease (I'm 50/50 about it), I think it'd grade 8.0/8.5 since it's deep and runs the length of the spine. If it's not, 6.5 or so. A press would fix it in any case and you'd be looking at a 9.4. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Definitely needs a press. Problem is whether those ticks on the front break the ink or not. A press may make them worse. I don’t see anything else to warrant below a 9.4…with a solid press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
