marf Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) I wish this was a 10.0 Any advice on if I should clean and press would be much appreciated Edited Sunday at 11:11 PM by marf FoggyNelson and grendelbo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 1.0±0.5 With these worn books, I don't think pressing can improve the grade, maybe improve the appearance. Mars76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcjames Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 1.5, C&P has higher risk of worsening damage to frail 60 year-old books like that. If I had to send it for C&P, I wouldn't send it to CGC CSS. @joeypost would be one for the best advice on this IMO. Great book to own though!

Nilo2 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 If the cover is still attached (it looks like it is) and the book is complete, this should grade somewhere between a 2.0-3.0. with a really good cleaning and pressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoggyNelson Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 1.8 but I’m jealous still👍‼️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 If everything is still attached I'd say 1.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 1.5/1.8 I don't think a press will improve the grade, maybe just the presentability a little. But probably not worth it. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nilo2 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 If the cover is still attached and the book is complete, I don't see how this could grade lower than a 2.0 with a really good clean & press. I don't see any pieces out of the front or back covers and from the pics, the book looks like it is strong enough to go through a C&P just fine. I'd send it to an independent pro. Its a little more money but could be well worth the result. Just my 2 cents... marf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
