Captain lmad Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Can this bottom dent be pressed out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_highgrade Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 You can't press out a crease that breaks color. littledoom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awakeintheashes Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 It’ll press back to unbent, but you’ll still have the color break and still not have a 9.8. littledoom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Gemini Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I do wonder though how much of a non-color breaking spine tick could get pressed out. Could you get it down to 1/16 of an inch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning55 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 You can likely get the bend out almost completely, if not completely. The color break will remain. The overall appearance will be better aesthetically, but that defect will show. Looking at the back photo, there are other color-breaking creases on the spine - below the top staple, and some smaller ones along the middle of the spine. Maybe more on the front (not shown). As you add up defects, your grade is dropping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crops068 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 The bend can be pressed but the color break will still be there. There is no way to fix the break in color (without getting a purp). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
