Final one for today and my second UK variant copy of this mega key. Thoughts on grade? Will be cleaned and pressed prior to submission.

Waiting for CGC to push mine through grading (I'm expecting ~4.5). Yours is much, much nicer 

Spine ticks, rounded outer corners and light color rub on the spine corner. 7.5±0.5. The dark colors make the defects look worse, so I hope they won't get hammered unfairly. I've got a book from this era with ticks that are a bit longer, but on a light background, that came in at 7.0. I think this is a better book even if the ticks on mine are "hidden".

I hope so; I'm submitting two of these UK variants too (here is the other from the Ian Penman collection)

8.0. Very nice!

[Galen130]

8.5

[CJ Design]

8.0 sharp

[grendelbo]

I think the rounded and abraded corners, especially the lower right corner of the front cover, and spine wear will keep this book at 6.5/7.0 tops.

Thanks for posting.

7.0-7.5. That top looks weird then again it is an older comic so…

[fast eddie]

I see a 7.0 there,,,,great book!

Grade now in post clean and press. Very happy and loving the conserved label (appears bottom staple was replaced).

Sharing the before and after pics from the clean and press. I'll try and do this for all my "Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?" books from now one (if published on my presser's IG).
