Bashk Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Hi all, please can you grade my silver surfer #1. Quite alot of creases on the back that don't thankfully break color. I will get this pressed too before submitting which will hopefully remove these. Photos attached. Thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 4.5/5.0 is a good as-is guess. It's really hard to guess how pressing will impact those creases. They don't look color breaking, but they're quite deep. I have doubts they'd completely disappear. If they did, I could see an 8.0, maybe 8.5 from a generous grader b/c it's square bound. A probable outcome after pressing is around 7, but try to post some after pressing photos if you can. Bashk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendelbo Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Yeah, around 4.0/4.5. C&P for 7.0/7.5 all depending on what irons out. Thanks for posting. Bashk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolidShredder Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 5.0 right now, that back cover is murdering this poor book. As other have said, hope for a great press! Bashk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travizb Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Looks like a subscription crease on the front cover. Perhaps 5.0-6.0 because it presents so well? Bashk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Looks around 5.0 to me. Presents better though. Bashk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollyComics Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) I thought it was VF until the pictures of BC show. It crushed me to see multiple book length creases. One subscription crease is an automatic 5.5. Now you have four of them plus one more short crease at the top BC. It's very difficult to remove them through the pressing. No matter if those non-color break creases still show the fold lines after pressing. I have seen them before. FC = VF 8.0 BC = VG 4.0 So it's 6.0 (which is between two grades) but too many creases will downgrade to either 4.5/5.0.

Even though those creases dont break color they are still going to be visible after a press. Cover looks beautiful 👍 JollyComics and Bashk 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
