ASM 298-Spare a grade? Opinions? Please. 0

[Charles S.]

Please take a look and let me know what you think. Get some CCS work done (would it really be worth it)? Or just submit to CGC? Im trying to get at least a 9.2 on this. 

Amazing Spiderman 298

Thanks everyone!

9.0 as-is, definitely needs cleaning especially front cover. Back cover has some spine-rubs and possible slight fingerprints on bottom edge (?). Over all corners looks slightly rounded, front-lower-right corner could be a slight dent with possible c-b crease to back cover at that corner (hard to tell from pics).

Can't answer whether or not to C&P but it would likely improve grade to clean cover.

mild soiling of the white spine edge, above the marvel logo and in upper right corner, rounded corners and minute color loss on the black back cover

8.5 - 9.0 as is

a clean MAY get the soiling off, but white covers are tough and soiling looks dark.  A press MAY sharpen the corners depending on if the paper fiber is compressed into the corner (bumped corner), or if there was actual fiber loss (corner got scraped on rough surface and fiber was removed).  that's a lot of if's to get to a 9.2
