Diaolos Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) Hi thanks fir taking the time to give me you’re opinion. Thinking a press and a dry clean can help the grade. Edited November 9, 2020 by Diaolos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking a press and a dry clean can help the grade. Structurally sound but... alot of surface defect in the way of impressions, engrained soiling, rubs, ripples and scuffs, so overall 5.0 IMO. Can this benefit from a cleaning and pressing? I think so, and maybe by as much as a full grade, to 6.0 could be possible. Diaolos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anstettoman Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 5.5 as is Diaolos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 5.5 as-is, and I think a press would definitely help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glassman10 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Clean and press and it's a 6.0 perhaps a 6.5. Very nice copy. It makes me wonder how many copies were destroyed by cutting out the marvel value stamp.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diaolos Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 So I pulled the trigger with the book. I think they did not do justice with the photos provided. I am thinking 8.0-8.5 with a good press and clean. All this can be pressed out. Let me know with these new photos. Thank you again and thanks to all who comment. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I'm wrong, but, Imo still tops out in the f/vf range after a press and clean Diaolos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theCapraAegagrus Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 There is no way that gets an 8.0-8.5 with a clean and press. Lower your expectations, considerably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glassman10 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 It could still not make a 6.5. 8.0 is a seriously great condition comic. This doesn't measure up unfortunately. It does look a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpoolica Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 5.5 as is press/clean gets you a full grade bump imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
