PGM - Iron Fist 14 0

Here's my second plea for help!    Decent copy IMO, thinking of pressing and maybe come back with a 7.5?   Thoughts?

I cannot answer any questions about pressing.

IMO this book sits at a FN+ 6.5 as it is, IMO the only thing keeping it from a FN/VF 7.0 is the Color Break in the Stress Lines.

I think a quick press only cost $10 

so might be worth it to bump up a grade, no matter what the grade is , nice key

the major defect is the bottom spine corner crunch that looks like it was banged against a hard surface and the paper fibers got pressed in.  F/VF 7.0 allows for blunted corners, but that corner goes beyond that IMO. otherwise there are a few color breaking spine tics which are allow in the 7.0 to 7.5 range.  There are several non color breaking creases and bends in the spine as well as cover overhang and waviness on the back cover that can be fixed with a press.  I have seen some pressers who have been able to sharpen up bumped spine corners by pulling out the impacted paper and then pressing them flat, your results may vary. 

6.5 as is due to spine corner crunch

if the press sharpens up the corner (I think this is likely), then you are looking at a 7.0 or even 7.5 as many of the defects are pressable

Top end of fine at best.

6.5, nicer than my copy.

[Not A Clone]

I'd go 7 with a press.

My amateur opinion: 6.5

I'd say 7.5 with a press. Will press well and easily get a bump from what it is at now.
