Charlie07 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Hi Everyone, New poster. Looking to send this in for grading and pressing. Would you mind letting me know your thoughts before and after a press? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Small crease on the BRFC & it seems like a stain in the UPC box. The stain is going to hold this down. I call this an 8.5/9.0 with the crease, but CGC seems to be treating stains harshly, so I'm guessing this might top out around a 7.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars76 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Looks like a 9.0 but that stain brings it to a 7.5 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie07 Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 I was worried about the stain. Thank you guys for responding. Out of curiosity, do you think there's a chance that the CCS press might remove the stain? It mentions that they clean the book. As this is my first time submitting a book to CGC so not sure what to expect. Thank you again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think a press and clean would do much here other than improving presentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their cleaning if done at all is a dry clean which does not remove stains. In general, removing a stain is not possible unless selecting an approach that is much more invasive. Some independent pressers and cleaners will do this but they can be expensive and in the case of this book, likely not worth doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
