jevlnuts Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Recently picked up a Swamp Thing 1 (1972). It's in solid shape but certainly not perfect. I believe many of the flaws can be pressed out, as there are no color breaking ticks or major flaws. Interested in seeing what people think it's currently at and if it's worth pressing. Thank in advance for inputs. If I do submit it, I will reveal the grade I get. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semicentennial Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 It looks like it's in VF (8.0) condition. That top right back corner hurts the grade, but overall the book looks pretty nice. I'm not an expert, but I think pressing will help it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrover Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I think it’ll go higher. My grading is sketchy above 8.0, but this book should look fabulous when pressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevlnuts Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 That was my thinking as well. Im shooting for a 9.0 or higher, guess we will have to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrispyC66 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Too much edge wear to get to 9.0. I think your looking at an 8.5 with press or 8.0 as is. Very nice copy! Please rotate your pics in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 7.5 as is IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
