Would pressing have helped these issues? Hulk 181 1 1

[Chuck Hurley]

I just got my Hulk 181 back from CGC. Grade 6.0 Off-white to white pages. Grader notes: finger bends on cover, light creasing to cover, light foxing to cover. Would pressing have helped fix these issues? If it got pressed, what is the best-case scenario grade?

Finger bends & light creases are pressable. If either break color, then it won't help much. These kinds of questions are better directed to the Grading & Restoration issues thread where they are discussed regularly.

That is the best looking 6.0 I've ever seen.

Agreed. If it wasn't CGC, I'd send in for a press and regrade. But ya roll the dice there nowadays. 

Great looking book!

Totally.

As long as creases don't break color, I can easily see that getting up to an 8 with a C&P

Yes. Probably about 2 grades higher, maybe more.

Thanks for posting.

Lots of foxing on the back cover. Appears CGC is now grading them similar to stains.
