Grade is in! PGM Wolverine 1 2 2

[Bigdavebooth]

Hey guys, was wondering if you guys could give me your best guess on this Wolverine 1.  Debating on having it graded and was wondering if it was worth it. I would have it pressed if I did have it graded.

I don't think a press will get rid of the abrasions and scuffing on this.As for the blackspots on BC, cleaning may get rid of those but might a print error?

At best,after C&P, I'd see a 9.0.. Could go down to 8.5

Looks 8ish after a good cnp.

5.5 as is.  7.5/8.0 with a clean and press.

6.0

7.5/8.0 after a C&P. 

6.0 thereabouts now.

Thanks for posting.

I'd cap it at 8.0ish if you get a C&P. TBH it's up to you as far as whether or not it's worth it or not. If you intend to sell...depends on a number of factors--recent sales in 8.0 are around $100, and it costs $40-50 or so for C&P if you sub modern, if that helps at all. (Personally, if you intend to grade this book by itself to sell, I'd say no, considering cost for CCS/grading/handling/shipping to and from for one book runs bare minimum about $60). That said, if you want it for PC, throw all of that out of the window! Totally up to you and what you want to do with the book.

This book would benefit from a C&P for sure. Even if you don’t get it graded it will look a lot nicer. However, I think some of the grime on the back might be foxing which I don’t think can be resolved with a basic dry clean.  There is also a stain above the red E in “Mega”.  I’m also not sure what is going on by Wolverine’s left thumb. I would guess 7.0 after C&P, but possibly higher depending on how thoroughly it can be cleaned.

I am happy, picked it up for $50 and its going into my personal collection.

Nice - looking at raw pics, definitely benefited from clean/pressing.

Congrats! That crease on the bottom left corner of the back cover came out really well with the press

Awesome! Looks like it cleaned up super nice. I'm not huge fan of a lot of the custom labels, but the Wolvy label looks really good on this book imo
