4.0. cleaning might take of a couple little spots that look like surface grime, but a lot looks like tanning/foxing that's not going anywhere. The creasing all looks fairly heavy so only minor improvements in how flat the surface would appear. The potential grade here does not suggest any real ROI on putting money into c/p.

Welcome To The Boards!!!

Unfortunately I do not have my books cleaned and pressed so I cannot answer that question for you.

Blunted corners, edge wear with some denting at the lower right outer edge along with a color breaking crease, cover discoloration and color loss in the price box, color breaking crease through price box, minor to moderate spine wear with moderate color breaking stress lines, minor to moderate spine roll, 1"+ tear on rear cover lower edge, moderate discoloration of rear cover.

IMO, I feel the staining/discoloration and tear keep this book from grading higher...VG+ 4.5

 

5.0 VERY GOOD/FINE (VG/FN):  Back to Top
An above-average but well used comic book. An accumulation of bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor to moderate cover wear apparent, with minor to moderate creases and/or dimples. Inks have moderate to low reflectivity. Blunted corners are increasingly common, as is minor to moderate staining, discoloration, and/or foxing. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. A minor to moderate spine roll is allowed. A spine split of up to 1/2" may be present. Staples may show minor discoloration. Minor staple tears and minor stress lines may also be present, as well as minor rust migration. Paper is tan to brown with no signs of brittleness. Centerfold may be loose. Minor interior tears may also be present.

4.5 VERY GOOD+ (VG):  Back to Top
Fits the criteria for Very Good but with an additional virtue or small accumulation of virtues that improves the book's appearance by a perceptible amount.

4.0 VERY GOOD (VG):  Back to Top
The average used comic book. Cover shows moderate to significant wear, and may be loose but not completely detached. Cover reflectivity is low. Can have moderate creases or dimples. Corners may be blunted. Store stamps, name stamps, arrival dates, initials, etc. have no effect on this grade. Some discoloration, fading, foxing, and even minor soiling is allowed. As much as a 1/4" triangle can be missing out of the corner or edge; a missing 1/8" square is also acceptable. Only minor unobtrusive tape and other amateur repair allowed on otherwise high grade copies. Moderate spine roll may be present and/or a 1" spine split. Staples may be discolored. Minor to moderate staple tears and stress lines may be present, as well as some rust migration. Paper is brown but not brittle. Minor to moderate interior tears may be present. Centerfold may be loose or detached at one staple.

Hi I appreciate all of your replies. I 've had my old comic collection tucked away in boxes since I bought them in the 60-70s. I'll be posting ones in better shape that I think will be going to CGC for grading (which I should have done a long time ago).
