PGM Thor 337 2 2

Greetings all!  

Please let me know what you think of this book, the beginning of Walt Simonson’s incredible run.

I included some closeups of the FC corners which have some indentations.

Thanks for your time and feedback!

9.2

I think this book can press to a 9.4. The spine roll, all the indentations, and back bottom left will press completely gone.  Spine roll is never an issue and = $ for pressers.  
 

you have a stain on top left, which can be tricky.  An eraser or dental tool very carefully can move that away.  However, with the white background, it is very tricky to remove.  I would start with a pick, then very softly graze with a vinyl eraser.  If no progress, i would try a damp sponge with only dabbing motions.  I would then let that be, but it may come off.

The Answer is: 9.0

Followed by more conventional stain removal techniques: ez-off oven cleaner, angle grinder, flamethrower, thermonuclear warheads, Galactus, the Infinity Gauntlet... and for those stubborn stains, my mom.
