travizb Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 (edited) Thanks for looking. This book needs some TLC, including a press, but what do you all think it will grade at before/after C&P? Me thinks 6ish. Edited May 17, 2023 by travizb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamLunt Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Excellent candidate for a C & P. Is that a stain near the 'C' in Jackel? Is that water damage near the pinky of Spider-Man's palm? Hard to say if these defects exist and if so how far they permeate into the pages of the book. I think 6.0 is a reasonable place to start and adjust depending on the questions. travizb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1950's war comics Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 looks 5.0 at best but great key ! WilliamLunt and travizb 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I think that's a stain too. Pressing will fix a lot in my amateur opinion, but the combo of the color breaking stuff around the spine & staples sets the maximum around 6.5/6.0, but the stain knocks it down a point from what I've seen, so 5.0/5.5 travizb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mars76 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 5.0 as is, 6.5-7.0 after a good cnp. travizb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I'm at 4.5 to 5.0 on this one. Too many creases and handling marks across the cover to be a 6.0 if it was mine. Too much wear around staples too, so pressing will make it look nicer but won't raise the grade much if at all. travizb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollyComics Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 At the bottom of the edge looks like a water damage (possibly water stain). The cover has a lot of indentations and creases that need to be pressed out. Maybe the water damage can be disappeared. Without C&P, it's 4.5. travizb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
