jc559 Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 (edited) Hi! Would love to hear feedback on what you feel it would grade without a press and with a press. EDIT*** It has the stamp.

scburdet Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 The BRFC is cropped off in both cover shot & not in any of the other photos. I would like to see some additional shots of the TRFC where that bend is to assess the degree of the defect. Could be pressable, but I can't be confident with a guess with these photos.

These are all the photos I have, I don't have the book in my possession yet. The bend TRFC does not look to be color breaking. Got an idea of grade if the bends were remedied and if the book wasn't pressed at all? I plan on pressing and submitting it, will update with grade eventually.

scburdet Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Around a 7.5/8.0 now for bends & stacking bend/spine roll. Pressed, I can see this going to the low 9s. All depends on how well a pressing goes and if there's any underlying paper damage. AbsoluteCarnage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morbius21 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 9.0+ with an expert C&P. Awesome book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zegeroth Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 8.0 cap. Staple tear, and color breaking crease at the feet of Wendigo. Spine corners are blunted. Press that top right corner to get to 8.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lninefingers Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I don't think this gets to a 9.0, but I think 8.0/8.5 is possible with a good press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nilo2 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 (edited) Wow! With a solid clean and press 9.2 (as is, 7.5). Grading this book without a professional C&P would be a real shame. One of the best pressing candidates I've ever scene for a Hulk 181. Good luck and thanks for posting. Edited January 6 by Nilo2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travizb Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I think this will land in the 8s due to the color breaking crease at the bottom of the front cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
