4.0/4.5. The creasing along the spine is not immediately obvious, but when you zoom in there's quite a bit.

Thank you for your observations and grade.

My understanding from reading the CGC webpages on CSS Pressing, is that a c/p would remove "non-color-breaking spine stress". Given that the stress marks were initially hard to see at first glance, would this comic be a good canidate for c/p? Thanks!

"non-color-breaking spine stress"

these clearly break color, so there's a limit to what pressing can achieve. Flattening things out might make it look a little better (or get non-color breaking creases that aren't obvious in photos), but they can't be fixed.

Revised my grade above.  The spine stress is worse than I originally noticed.  Also agree that most break color and can't be fixed.

Got it. Thanks for your insights!

Thanks for updating your grade. Unfortunate to have that spine stress, but it is what it is.
