Thinking to sending this to grade, could you spare a grade ?

[Wipple]

Challenging to grade. So many pros and cons. I’ll go with 3.0 C/OW. This is what this PGM section is about. Cool book

Risky. Ask a reputable presser to have a closer look 👀.

2.5   the cover looks pretty good so I think that helps a lot.

P.S.  Get this thing slabbed.   and then tell us what grade you got.

that's the idea

 I would think because of the condition of the book that a press and clean might be a dangerous thing to do.....but I'm not sure.

yes, and I don't know if there's a real benefit on this book

[Ed Hanes]

No matter the grade...get it slabbed, just to keep it from falling apart...my guess..2.0 to 2.5

[grebal]

2.5

Assuming paper & cover bend but don't break (not sure what precisely is "brittle").

[JollyComics]

You can send to CCS for the prescreen if it is a candidate for C & P.   I would bet on it for not passing the prescreen.  Too fraglie for C & P.   It's still $$$$$.  For this book, it's 2.0/2.5.

[Math Teacher]

2.5, to my eyes.

[Mars76]

2.5-3.0

[Februus]

2.5 imo the risk of trying to slightly improve this outweighs the reward. Get it encapsulated to protect it from further degradation and handling. Enjoy it!

[WolverineX]

3.0

[shadroch]

2.0, not a candidate for pressing

[grendelbo]

2.5

I doubt a press will improve the grade and it won't impact it's appearance. Don't risk it.

Thanks for sharing.

[Pitboss]

2.5 from me as well. No way would I have it squashed. 

[Shadowlynx]

now my other concern, is if it has any colour touch... maybe send it to the profesional, even is not for a press but he could check for resto?

2.5 -- SO very cool to see this book unslabbed. Is there a story behind how you got it? I would definitely get a professional's opinion on if pressing and cleaning would do well, and I don't know if I'd trust whoever does the pressing at CGC to do it anyway.

extra for you.
Actually there's a little story, but I'm not sure I should tell, never know who can be reading, but ended up buying the book for 3.5k after a very bizarre negotiation

 R U really gonna leave it like that ?

not going to tell the extended version, but here we go.
So after few hours checking facebook , looking for some books at groups, I found this guy who was looking for 6k. After a little chat, I agreed to help him selling some SA books he had, in compensation he sold me this book at 3.5k , I took a fly to his place, paid for the book, and after few days, the dude just blocked me or deleted his profile IDK,  imagine my confusion after all this, getting such a grail for a fine price and him blocking me with no reason at all
