Randall Ries Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 7.0-ish. Obviously the scratches on the back will hold it back. Nice find. The DC Bronze age book of the century. Skunkboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 That's awesome. 7.0 does seem about right. And looks better! Skunkboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Steve Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) If you seek out the best press guy you can find, maybe those scratches will press out and it will be an 8.5. Hard to tell how deep those are, but I'd send detailed close-up pix to press wizards and see what they say.

Point Five Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Are those really scratches? I thought they were production wrinkles in the cover stock. I only suggested 7.0 because there's a slightly stained/foxed area in the LLC of the back cover, and staples look a bit dark. If sent to CGC, quite possible they'd be much more generous, who knows.

JollyComics Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 The staples looked darker. Not rust staples hopefully? Skunkboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapzilla Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Looks 6.5-7.0 as is, definitely look into pressing it. Great find! Skunkboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skunkboy Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 Hi all, Thanks for the feedback! Below are a few additional pics of the bc. The crease appears to be a printer's crease, which I had assumed wouldn't affect the grade too much. No rust on the staples :). Definitely going to send for a press before grading - not sure if non-CCS recommendations are allowed on the forums, but would certainly welcome any .

Mars76 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Sweet find👍 7.0 as is. A good presser might be able to bump it up to an 8.0 Skunkboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
