Nazirite Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) I wanted to see what others thought. What grade would you give this? And would a press and clean be beneficial, like always thanks in advance for the responses. Edited October 27, 2020 by Nazirite Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Financially speaking, the cost of the revision, slabbing, and postage both ways will likely be equal to or more than the value of even an 8.5, so although a "perfect" pressing candidate, the target grade (8.0 to 8.5) if achieved, will either equal or add up to the cost of improvement, a probable wash. As is, offered raw on ebay, using these exact same images, this book will fetch CGC 8.0 equivalent money, the eye appeal is tremendous.

James J Johnson Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 6 minutes ago, LDarkseid1 said: Too many times, the cost of doing business isn't fully factored into the win-lose-draw equation. First, the cost of slabbing and associated processes, and then, and most importantly, the vig. The dust settling for the submission bill, now, your expenses are not yet over. There's the vig! Sell for $100, pocket $85 to $90 after fees. That's a huge bite for any seller who didn't literally steal the merchandise.
