PGM Venom Lethal Protector 1 APV 2 2

[Sebastsk8]

Long story short, bought a lot that had a couple of sets of venom lethal protector in it and noticed one was a fairly nice newsstand so I bought it. Finally get it in hand and it has some ticks and needs cleaned which was disappointing. But then I notice it's an APV, of which there's only 15 currently on the cgc census and 0 on cbcs. Detailed pics listed, some discoloration on the price box and back cover but looks superficial and should come off easily, probably 5 decent spine ticks mostly on lower half both front and back cover. Not much color break but enough, press would definitely help a ton there. Bottom right front cover corner a little dinged up maybe 1/8" or less into the book.

Thank you for the help!

The spot on the top of the back cover doesn't really look like surface dirt to me, but I don't have it in hand. If that's a little stain, 7.5/8.0. If it can be cleaned, around 9.0. From what I've been told, the metallic/cardstock cover is not one that's receptive to pressing. When my (totally boring direct copy) went in, it was one of the few books my presser sent in as-is, and we routinely press everything as a precautionary measure.

8.5 max

7.5 mostly due to corners and staining.

Accurate assessment. Many times I would use a tacking iron at most.
