PGM Young Marvelman #31 1 1

I was wondering what grade do you think this is? Would this benefit from a clean and a press?

All comments are welcomed! Thanks!

Blunted/rounded corners with some creasing, moderate to severe spine stress with a long (3"- 4") spine split, rusty staples, slight to moderate foxing/dust shadow on rear cover, creasing/wrinkling at top right corner/edge of rear cover.

I cannot see/do not know, if the cover/centerfold is loose/detached at one or both staples or what the pages look like, going by what I can see, it brings up a sort of dilemma, the defects listed above, especially the spine split would put this book in the FR/GD 1.5 to GD- 1.8 range, however, the cover itself is much better than that, since a comic is graded by its overall condition, not just its worse defect I would grade this book at a...

3.0 GOOD/VERY GOOD (GD/VG):  Back to Top
A used comic book showing some substantial wear. Cover shows significant wear, and may be loose or even detached at one staple. Cover reflectivity is very low. Can have a book-length crease and/or dimples. Corners may be blunted or even rounded. Discoloration, fading, foxing, and even minor to moderate soiling is allowed. A triangle from 1/4" to 1/2" can be missing out of the corner or edge; a missing 1/8" to 1/4" square is also acceptable. Tape and other amateur repair may be present. Moderate spine roll likely. May have a spine split of anywhere from 1" to 1-1/2". Staples may be rusted or replaced. Minor to moderate staple tears and moderate stress lines may be present, as well as some rust migration. Paper is brown but not brittle. Centerfold may be loose or detached at one staple. Minor to moderate interior tears may be present.
