xxeycexx Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Hello everyone , new member / new collector . I have never graded any of my books but am now considering it on books that I think are in great condition. Just looking to see if my assessment is inline with yours. Thanks in advance, I will certainly re post back IF i decide to send it in. Cheers!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzemarvel Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Hi. I'll tell you what I see: Both top corners lightly rounded (I can't make out more than that, but there might be more going on); FBLC light abrasion; a couple of spine stress lines and light bends on spine; and on the front cover, above Domino's head, what looks like a finger/reading bend; possible color flecks in the black on the right side of FC. How much that bend will factor in to the grade is the wildcard to me. I think this might max out at 9.0 to 9.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxeycexx Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 Thanks so much for the feedback bronzemarvel, actually missed that bend on top of Dominos head and was more concerned about the ones on the spine. I just learned that CGC offers a pressing service along with other services . You reckon something like this bend on the book would possibly be remedied by pressing? Thanks again ! this forum is awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzemarvel Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I believe that bend could be helped by pressing, but pressing is never a guarantee. Weigh the cost, possible increase in grade + value... and if it adds up for you, it might be worth a press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 9.0 is a floor, press to try & get higher. I would look for a presser other than CCS who you can consult & work with directly. CCS is a black box. They can do a good job, but you will not get any feedback or pre/post-press information. Nschenks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lninefingers Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 9.2ish I'd definitely get it pressed if you plan to grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan LaBar Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 100% grade that!!! Don't even hesitate. Press it too for sure. Even if it graded at 9.0 (lowest) it's still $350-$450. Don't even give it a second thought. That's a modern grail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
