Looking for thoughts on the current grade and if the defects could be pressed out for a higher grade

6.5 IMO.

Do you think that crease may have a shot at being pressed out?  You have to get up close to even see it.
It somewhat breaks color... this is one of those Iffish press books from my perspective.

I would say "yes", but I am about as amateur as it comes to "press-able defects".

There's a few colour breaking spine ticks, plus a long and smaller cb creases bottom right corner , that corner also looks quite soft too. everything else will come out in a press, but I still think you'll be in the fine range at best.

Thanks!  Just going through the huge collection of my dad's that I grabbed after he passed.
These were in several boxes in a shed.

The long color-breaking crease on the front cover will cap the grade at 5.0 whether the book is pressed or not IMO. From a cost perspective, this book wouldn't make much sense to press or to submit.

6.5 press not worth it

5.5 condition😬

6.5 after press. Given the value of the book I would not pay to have it pressed and/or graded. Very common book in mid-grade.
