| Great question. I researched the Overstreet grading guide and the first mention of water stains was in a 1.8. However with that said, an argument could be said for a 4.5 where a moderate accumulation of discoloration, fading, foxing, even minor soiling is allowed. I would guess you're safely at that range. | ||

 It's like the Roach Motel for comic collectors.

| This comic at today's prices is only worth significant money in higher grades. Even a 4.0 might be only $50. After grading expenses and shipping both ways, not really worth the time and money. Especially if it comes back at a 1.0. If it skyrockets in value suddenly in the near future, that would be the only way the numbers make sense. May be best to sell it off as a raw copy, and then add some money to that to buy a really nice one, raw or graded. |

| @Imad, clean and press does not count as restoration. I have seen many examples of a clean and press making a significant improvement in the appearance of a comic. Of course, there is no guarantee of a specific grade increase, but I thought it was worth trying. | ||
