Can you spare a grade for my GSX1 and Xmen 94?

Hey All! Thanks for stopping by! I am trying to get an idea of grade for these two books. I am also wondering whether you would recommend a press and clean on the GSX1. I really appreciate your time!

So a pressing/cleaning for the GSX1 I'd say is a no brainer. It clearly has more potential. With the X-Men 94 I can't see much that a pressing/cleaning would enhance so I'm not sure it's worth the money. Some little indents here and there, but the main defects are unpressable as they break color. As far as the GSX1 goes from what I can see, I'd say it's around a 4.5, with the potential to be around a 6.0 with a pressing/cleaning. The X-Men 94 looks to be around a 4.5-5.0, and with a pressing maybe a 5.5 due to the minor defects I could see being taken care of.

The GSX1 looks to have more than just simple dirt. It looks like black mold has started. I'm thinking the book has sustained some severe water damage and was left to dry out in the bag. My point is , I don't think this book will clean up that easily. The pages look awfully brown, maybe tan. I see a 3.0 book here. Sorry.

Where can you see the pages being brown or tan? I don't see a photo of interior pages.

I'm judging that from what I can see of the BC pic. The left edge has two large folds/tears exposing some paper. In any case, the pages don't come into play with the grade anyway.  BTW, I hope I'm wrong with the black mold because it's nasty.
