Devilla06 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Here is a tricky one. I know it is already graded... I want to send it in for a pressing to try to get the creases out. What does scare me here is 1. the Graders note about the staple tear and the cover detaching 2. It has a tape pull above the Marvel "Comics" in the middle of the front cover. So probably can't get much of boost For me I want my comic to be as presentable as possible and I do love Custom labels. Any chance for a grade bump? Grader Notes : - moderate spine stress lines breaks color - moderate wear all corners breaks color moderate - multiple crease left bottom of back cover small * multiple staple tear left top of front cover breaks color Thanks for your opinion!

LowGradeBronze Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) It's already a weak 6.0 Most of those flaws aren't going away with a press and you risk more damage (staple tear,) so it might come back looking nicer but a grade lower. Worth the risk? Not in my opinion. Edited January 25, 2023 by LowGradeBronze Devilla06 and Mars76 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one has a dog ear and am open to getting it pressed if they ever have Batman labels but this one I think I will pass. Staple tear is a scary note.

All the notes are about color breaks and I believe two books I had CCS press had weaker staple attachments that came off. I think that's always a risk and even greater with a high throughput operation. Too much risk with minimal upside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
