please grade the planet pressing experiment

[Comicdey]

wet and warbled

[Timulty]

Probably won't up the grade that much, so I don't know if you would call that a good candidate for pressing due to color breaking creasees. The Grading Bastiche give you this book a 4.0. Great Book, by the way.

Collin, whole book has water damage or just the covers? The staining looks pretty substantial. I would start at 2.0/2.5, heading further south if the pages are discolored/stained through.

[Comicdey]

I want to see how this book will look flat. I know it needs a cleaning too to really upgrade it.

 

I'm just curious how the pressing will deal with previous water damage.

 

maybe I can pay matt to clean it too?

thinking on something within this range too...maybe a 2.5

2.0

If you were holding it, with all it's warbles, you might even want to go lower.

 

I'm hoping it's pressed up flat so it feels good to hold.

 

I purchased it as a Fair years ago.

Matt may just tell me it's not good to press and that's that.

Is that a tear going through the T in PLANET ? Either way it looks pretty nice for a Fair. It looks like a safe 2.0.

Did Matt tell you if he is going to disassemble the book to press it?

[Comicdey]

Haven't heard yet, but right now I'd assume not.

I've bit the bullet on this one and am having the tape remved, cleaned, minor reinforcing and pressed. (not very expensive to have done in this case) Either that or Matt's giving me a sweetheart deal. No blue lable on this baby but it's staying with me anyway and who wants an ugly water damaged, heavily stained and warbled book anyway .

 

Matt estimated apparent VF or so. We'll see.

Did you get the results back on the rest of your books?
