marvelmaniac Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I cannot answer your questions on a clean and press since I do not use this service. Edge wear w/color rub, 2 small color breaking creases at the top right edge, blunted corners w/small color breaking creases, moderate spine stress w/color breaking spine ticks/creasing, minor staple tears, discolored staples, crease/scratch(?) by the Chameleon at lower right, moderate-severe creasing/wrinkling of rear cover, moderate denting/small tears of top edge on rear cover, moderate foxing/staining on rear cover. What I cannot see is if the cover and centerfold are secure or if they may be loose/detached at one or both staples. As the book sits right now, IMO... 5.0 VERY GOOD/FINE (VG/FN): Back to TopAn above-average but well used comic book. An accumulation of bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor to moderate cover wear apparent, with minor to moderate creases and/or dimples. Inks have moderate to low reflectivity. Blunted corners are increasingly common, as is minor to moderate staining, discoloration, and/or foxing. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. A minor to moderate spine roll is allowed. A spine split of up to 1/2" may be present. Staples may show minor discoloration. Minor staple tears and minor stress lines may also be present, as well as minor rust migration. Paper is tan to brown with no signs of brittleness. Centerfold may be loose. Minor interior tears may also be present. The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amatta Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I'd do the C & P and hope for a 5.0 but be braced for a 4.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nilo2 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Definitely worth a clean and press. No way this book scores lower than 5.5 unless there is water staining or other unseen damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
