PGM Black Cat #1 1 1

There is just 1 tiny color breaking spine ticket. I plan on pressing the comic to remove all the other non color breaking tickets and corner bend.

1st, there is a lot of glare in the photo's and no clear/sharp pics of the spine/staples.

From what I can see...

Recessed staples (Bindery?), multiple/non-color breaking stress lines along spine, long/non-color breaking crease (not a clear/sharp pic) along outer edge of rear cover.

Assuming that the crease does not break color and there are no other hidden defects, IMO...VF- 7.5

 

NM 9.4 - Subtle bindery/printing defects are allowed. A 1/16" bend is permitted with no color break. tight and flat. Almost no stress lines.

NM- 9.2 - A limited number of minor bindery/printing defects are allowed. A 1/16-1/8" bend is permitted with no color break. Almost no stress lines.

VF/NM 9.0 - A limited number of bindery/printing defects are allowed. An 1/8" bend is allowed if color is not broken. Only the slightest staple tears are allowed. A very minor accumulation of stress lines may be present if they are nearly imperceptible. 

VF 8.0 - A limited accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. An unnoticeable 1/4" crease is acceptable if color is not broken. Very slight staple tears and a few almost insignificant stress lines may be present. 

FN/VF 7.0 - A small accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor cover wear beginning to show, possibly including minor creases. Slight staple tears and a small accumulation of light stress lines may be present.

I'm not sure pressing will fix your problems. I would not roll the dice on slabbing this comic. Around 7.5 now, pressing to 9.0 is the most optimistic outcome.

Ok, thank you.

I see an 8.5 now with a potential 9.4 when pressed!

Thank You.

8.0-9.0 after c&p.

8.0/8.5 give or take.
