kasharic Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Evening - I've got a 9.6 Ms Marvel #1, and wondering if it has defects which can be addressed and resubmitted for a potential 9.8. Alas there are no grader's notes. The thing that is of interest is the back cover tiny corner fold, which I think can be pressed out? The only other potential detracting features are the 2 spine corners on the front - the bottom is a little rounded with minimal colour loss. The top corner looks to be a bindery issue? In your opinion, woud you press out the corner fold on the back and resubmit, or are the other issues going to negate this? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTD Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) I would leave it...I’m no expert but it doesn’t look like a press will help that lower left corner on the cover...

A press will not put the color back into those fibrous, frayed corners or the color-broken stresses angled across them. kasharic and silverseeker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Dowling Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Looks like the one corner is post-encapsulation damage. I doubt it would get a 9.6 anymore if regraded. kasharic and silverseeker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasharic Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 Thank you all - I'll leave it - I totally agree that the corner is likely post-encapsulation, and wouldn't negate the other issues - much appreciated your input thank you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
