PGM Batman 181 copy 1 4 4

[Just Visiting]

Please help me determine what grade it is now and what you think it might get after a C&P, it really needs a C&P.

I'm thinking as is 4.0/4.5 but I may be biased

Hopefully I can get this cleaned & pressed before the Baltimore Comic Con in late October.

Thank You

Very nice book.  It has a reading crease which is equivalent of a subscription crease.  It's automatically 5.5 before the defects.  It's strong 4.5/5.0.

With that stain, maybe it will go down to 4.0/4.5.  I don't think the cleaning will do any benefits but the pressing will do.

4.0

I think 4.5 may be it's limit after a C&P.

Thanks for sharing.

I say 3.5-4.0 as is. That crease on the front looks long and slightly worries me.

I saw that and I do not see any color break, It may look like it from that angle but looking at it straight on, nothing.

Solid 4.0

MrRoboto, yes the reader crease is what you were talking about. my bad. I was looking at the line going across the page at Poison Ivy's knees.

Anyway thanks for everyone's input.

The other copy I have is in slightly better condition but with a detached centerfold and I'll post the pictures shortly for your input on that one as well

Thanks Again
