ender Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Ok. Admittedly I should have decided this first but that ship has sailed. Itcame back a 4.0 which I thought was nice. Hovever the twisting spine roll is a big defect. If I crack it out and have it pressed by cgc sister company, any guesses about grade after? If it comes back even a 4.5 I would think it was worth the investment. But I don’t have much experience getting books pressed. Think they could get this one straightened out and if so chances of a bump in grade? Lucky Baru 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyFish Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 The spine roll isn't mentioned in the grading notes, so other than eye appeal I'm not sure it would bump the grade up. You might end up with a flat 4.0. I guess it would depend on how much you have into it and then what pressing costs. I'm not a big fan of pressing myself and the spine roll to me means some kid loved this thing enough that it got dog eared. Nice book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 The stain on the bottom right probably keeps it at 4.0 even with a press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the spine roll is not mentioned in the notes that is CGC telling you the defect did not affect the grade. No reason to take a chance and risk possible harm to the book. To get out the spine roll, it is more than a simple press. Who knows if a book this old can take the pressure (pun intended) ? The upside is it will look better but probably get the same grade. The downside is a popped staple, detached cover, and a very poor decision. I would NOT work on this book. badback83 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to be gained by pressing it. And the paper looks weak at the bottom of the back cover. I'd be afraid to have heat and/or moisture applied. Might do more harm than good.

STORMSHADOW_80 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 It looks like it is in one of the older cases without the inner well. It might be worth getting a reholder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
