PGM Vault of Horror 30 1 1

[Washingtonxan]

Here's a Vault of horror 30. Please look closely at the title of the comic. There seems to have been writing with a stylus. What grade would you give it as is? Also what grade would you give it after a press? Centerfold is loose at top staple. Thanks

Tough one. The markings within the title are pretty neat-looking though.

I'm going to guess 5.0. I don't think the indentations will get dinged all that much. I can't imagine it going lower than a 4.5. Don't press it!

Great book! One of the rare EC covers actually showing dismemberment. Better than my copy for sure.

Spoiler

Thanks for sharing.

5.0 here too. I always feel better when I scroll passed GB's grade & it matches what I'm planning to post. I do think it's a tough call b/c of the nature of the indentions. Although I usually an pro-pressing, I think there's 0% chance these grooves press out, so the grade is more or less locked in, and the only thing a press might do is further damage the staple attachments
