Can "Pressing" Improve Ink Transfer Issue 0

[Michael Duck]

I have an Amazing Spider-Man 121 that has some type of ink transfer from some other book on the back and discoloration at the bottom edge. I doubt it will, but any chance "Pressing" can fix those or make an improvement? You can see the issues in the attached pictures and I also took a close-up. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you so much.

It appears you have ink transfer which has actually damaged the back cover, as well as some small foxing stains along the bottom edge. 

IMO, a pressing won't help either one of these issues...

But…in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing it can be greatly improved.

I would guess that the ink transfer comes from the cover of whatever book this one was stacked on. Moisture was introduced and then you have part of the cover sticking, foxing and rusty staples.
