FSQIV Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) Thanks for taking a look and passing along your thoughts on a grade. Wondering whether I bother with a press...check out the shot of the spine detail. A lot of little flaws (corner wear/creasing, back cover crease above the coupon that's attracted dirt, ticks on the front and back). Also has gripper holes throughout that hopefully won't count against the book. Edited January 16 by FSQIV update FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scburdet Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 C/P might get this to 7.0/7.5, but I'd personally keep/sell this raw. With about 30 sec of searching, I found a CGC 8.0 for $115. All the expenses associate with prepping and grading would get you really close to the same level of investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good point with the sunk costs post-grading and the expected/hoped payback. I went ahead and submitted in-person at a show today to see if the folks in C&P can work some minor miracles to bring this into VF+ range. We shall see...

Lninefingers Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I think an 8.0 is within the realm of possibilities with a good C&P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
