Funnybooks Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 4.5/5.0 with a press? migmtl76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 A good press will help some. 4.5 otherwise. migmtl76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCOComics Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Is that waviness some type of water damage? A good press will help this guy. 5.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 4.5ish IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicginger1789 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I think that large crease prevents from hitting 5.0 (and some of the other colour breaking creases too). A press will guarantee 4.5 I feel and at least make it a tad more presentable. mysterymachine and migmtl76 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysterymachine Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that you might get 5.5 with a good clean and press. Edited September 6, 2020 by mysterymachine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthingskryptonite Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 4.5 My initial thought was 5.5. But that large color breaking crease will bring the grade down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the main defects will not be mitigated by pressing. Deadpoolica 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glassman10 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 It appears to me that the upper staple is actually in backwards and does not go through the cover. The bottom one is harder to read but the damage to the front page from that lower staple is not insubstantial. The entire relationship between the cover and the text is just odd. The book appears rippled from water damage, perhaps a mist . The cover indeed has color breaks and several well worn corners but the staples are my big issue and a press wont help with that. If it got slabbed, and sold, the buyer might well not be aware of the interior issues. It has a combination of good and terrible issues. 3.5 I would love feedback on that.
