Hi folks, just looking for a rough idea where this falls? 

[theCapraAegagrus]

I'd put this in 7.0 range.

Awesome book, but can you please tell me what is going on with that gash starting at aqualad's head and heading towards the edge of the book? Is it a fold, a tear or a scratch?

6.5

Good eye, i didn't even notice that. Looks to be a fold of some kind, if you open the book you can see the crease on the inside of the cover as well. 

I wonder if that's something that could be pressed away?

Those are rough to press away but not impossible. 

But I did notice something else worse than this, the book has a lengthwide subscritpion crease. it is most apparent on robin's costume. Not sure if that lighter coloured line is a colour break or not. If it is, that would bring the book down to anything between a 4.0-6.0 depending on what CGC thinks (in overstreet guide, lenthwise subscription ceases are allowed only in the 4.0 range).

That crease is a product of my sub-par scanner, looking at the book under light i don't see any creases inside or out on the cover. 

Good eye Will, already looking at the comics different when i pull them out.

That is excellent news for you, very happy about that. And you know what, I do recomend you send this in for pressing since there is no colour break. For a book like this, it's worth the press in case of a grade bump. By that I mean, the extra worth of a grade bump outweighs the price of a press so much that it's worth the gamble, at least to me.

I would feel confidant putting this at 6.0 as is, but it would certainly benefit from a cleaning (especially the back) which could put it to 6.5 (or more?)

Thanks for the tip, i think i'll do exactly that

Is there an advantage to getting the book cleaned now? or should i wait until right before i get the book graded?

I don't think the timing of it matters much, so long as it gets a good dry cleaning at some point before grading.
