Amazing spider-man 101 (comic 1 of 3) **new pics** 3 3

[JDubeCT]

EDIT: Ok, so this message will be on each of my posts - sorry was doing it from my phone last night which ended up looking like ... so, my goal here is 2 fold - 1st i was looking to test my grading skills; 2nd i was looking for peoples thoughts on pressing these (via CGC vendor) prior to grading; whether you think it will make a difference worth the costs or not... I was going to put my grades up after they had been reviewed a few times but  have decided just to put it in the posts...

RE: Amazing Spider-man 101 - my grade is 4 (number of stress lines corner folds with color breaks, staple tears, spot on back, spine stress)
- cover has several folds with color breaks, tears near staples, spine stress marks
- corners rounded
- pages are tan-cream
- back cover seems to be in similar shape as the front

Kinda curious to see how my grading skills are so this is 1 of 3... after I get a few hits I’ll chime in with my grade see how off I am...I’d put the pages as tan, obviously the spine has seen better days there is staple pull, some creases with color breaks, spine stress... and some kind of white spot on the back of the book

I was going to but the size limit i got from my phone was way too small -- looking now from my laptop it seems higher, i am editing my posts anyways and will add that if i can too

2.5

[Funnybooks]

3.0

[JDubeCT]

Pressing help you think? Enough to make it worth it?

[evilskip]

3.0 to 3.5 tops as it is now.

[KCOComics]

2.5 for me. 

As for pressing, it will help some, but the big defects are color breaking creases / color breaking spine ticks that won't come out. Also that nasty business on the back cover. 

I think the upside after a press is maybe a 3.0

3.0  IMO, press might clean it up a little but don't think it'll do anything for the grade. Is that a hole in the back cover?

No, its like a white out or something, paint dot -- not really sure

[silversurfer275]

3.0

A clean/press could help some of that soiling on the back.  3.0ish.

[theCapraAegagrus]

3.5 IMO.
