PGM Young Marvelman #26 0

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

All comments are welcomed! Thanks!

I'm not sure what a C&P would do, but I would venture 6.5 as is.

Moderately blunted corners with color loss, small fold at lower right corner, edge wear with some color loss, chipping/pieces missing from outer edge, slight color breaking creases along the lower outer edge, minor to moderate spine stress with a few color breaking spine ticks, discolored staples, creased top right corner of rear cover, very slight spine roll, minor discoloration of rear cover with some color loss in the "blue" of the ad balloon.

If that is "Marvel Chipping" on the outer edge, no problem, if it is just pieces missing then the grade will drop appropriately, assuming it is chipping...

IMO...

6.0 FINE (FN):  Back to Top
An above-average copy that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with no significant creasing or other serious defects. Some accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor cover wear apparent, with minor to moderate creases. Inks show a significant reduction in reflectivity. Blunted corners are more common, as is minor staining, soiling, discoloration, and/or foxing. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. A minor spine roll is allowed. There can also be a 1/4" spine split or severe color break. Staples may show minor discoloration. Minor staple tears and a few slight stress lines may be present, as well as minor rust migration. Paper is tan to brown and fairly supple with no signs of brittleness. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present. Centerfold may be loose.
