Just picked this up. Planning on getting it pressed and graded but curious to see what folks on here think the grade is.

It was a one trick pony show but always hilarious. GAC private msg quote post Address this user
I'm not very good at grading moderns but after a press I'd say 9.4. Corners are pretty sharp, I don't see any spine ticks...the problem area (although its slight) is the bottom right front corner. It could grade higher but maybe there are tiny flaws I can't see. Great book though!!

We're gonna need to see some more pictures! Just kidding, I think pressing to 9.4 is about as good an answer as I could give as well. Seeing the interior of that book brings back some childhood memories. Such a distinctive Frank Miller styling to it. Back when he was fresh and there was still a lot of fruit hanging on that creative tree.

I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie. flanders private msg quote post Address this user
Very hard to tell. If that front bottom right or back left top is a crease that breaks color and can't be pressed out, maybe as low as a 5.0. I would definitely press screen.

As is, I'd say an 8.0/8.5. Most of the light folds should press out, but that lower front corner is an issue. So maybe a 9.2 with a press. Great book.

If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8. xkonk private msg quote post Address this user
I'm with everyone else in suggesting a press if you're going to get it graded. The most obvious stuff looks to be bends that should come out.

it looks like some color break on the lower right corner. is that scuffing on the bottom edge or a trick of the light? 8- without press, 9 with?

Thanks everyone, I appreciate it! I’ll definitely have it pressed before slabbing. Once it’s back, I’ll post it with the grade. Thanks!

9.0 with press and if the wrinkles/waviness come out. The hits you cannot fix looks like color rub on the lower right. Even after pressing you could still get the "light bends" grader note.

Post when you get the book back along with the notes and good luck.

@Hcanes I agree, the color rub is my greatest concern. Hoping with a press it comes in at 9.0 or greater. I’ll definitely post once it’s back.

mis wraps are my pet peeve, even more so on a widely available book such as this. i would have no interest regardless what the numerical grade might be. i would opted for a centered copy
