PGM 2000AD #3 1 1

I was wondering what grade do you think this is? Would this benefit from a clean and a press? Not the best angle I'm aware 

All comments are welcomed! Thanks!

7.5/8.0

VF range.

I never heard of this title under IPC Magazine LTD can be graded and encapsulated. I think it's too big for the encapsulation case (I don't know what size of this magazine).

2000 AD Presents (Quality Comics) were graded and encapsulated. The earliest one was 1986. Other two more publishers but not IPC Magazine.

Maybe CGC in London can do it.

If the information I found is correct (and there aren't multiple versions of the IPC-Fleetway books), there are books on the census. I do know that some Fleetway books exceed the CGC magazine case limits (11½" tall x 8⅞" wide x ½" thick). I had aspirations of getting a Crisis 15 signed and graded since it's Garth Ennis's first professional work, but it's 12" tall, so no dice.

It makes sense. Thanks.

Interesting!  I checked CGC Census. There is none but I saw the label that spelled A.D. so I searched and found them.  The magazine is pretty tight inside the case. Good luck on your submission if you are planning on.

This is a nice copy, not many survived in this shape, how will you press it? What machine do you have? Thinking of buying one myself. As for the grade, it looks in the 8.5 range to me.

Thanks  I'll send it to a cleaner and presser as I don't do it myself, and you should ~

I thought the same thing, it looked so tight in the case, it looked like excessive moment could damage the book. Seeing that, I felt a bit hesitant to submit anything.

Definitely C&P--a lot of the creasing looks non-color-breaking
