Lee,

 

I would definitely send this one for pressing...

 

Funny, you are not the first person to suggest this. 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

 

Mephisto you are correct, the book does have moisture damage along the left edge.

 

How about someone venturing a grade?

Once pressed, given the tear on the back cover : 7.0 sorry.gif

 

There is no tear on the back cover, that is a crease. gossip.gif

 

By the way, this book has been liberated from a CGC slab, so I have their grade in it's current state. Let's see if anyone can nail it.

 

I will post the slab label in a couple of days.

I don't think pressing will help this book. The moisture damage is in the paper, and it's not going anywhere. Pressing is used to help books with certain types of creasing, not books with water caused wrinkles. I don't think pressing will do anything except flatten it momentarily. 4.5

I think 4.5 is a good guess, though I'm usually way off on assessing how much CGC docks a book for an odd defect like this. But since all the pages are presumably affected and not just the cover, I can't see how it could grade higher than that. I'll go with a 4.5.

Well, King, I think you're flat-out wrong there (pun intended) . . . but not being a pressing expert, I dunno. I understand that to effectively press a book, both heat and humidity are applied. I further understand that the pressee is permanently flattened.

 

Perhaps someone with "hands-on" experience can chime in here . . . 893scratchchin-thumb.gif
