Grade guidance needed17044

Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC? Scifinator private msg quote post Address this user
I have a friend that is asking me for grade guidance. I can accurately spot 9.4-9.8, but have no confidence in my sub 9.4 accuracy baring future ojt by grandmaster @sbororck. Anyway my friend sent me these photos. I can clearly see color breaks, corner rub impact and folds. In its current condition i would guess 7.0-8.0. With a press & clean i would guess it may fetch 9.0 to possibly 9.4. What do you all think. His intention is to sell and i rec’d that he press.

I haven't aired it out. It's part of the provenance. Galen130 private msg quote post Address this user
With a clean/press, I’m conservative at 8.5…👍

With those corners he won't go above an 8.5 if that, imho

Press would be good for the spine and general stress marks, but the corners can't be helped.

How do I know this? Because I've done it myself. lawguy1977 private msg quote post Address this user
I agree with the other folks putting it at 8.5. Clean and press will help (especially the back, I believe), but I think the corners and the spine tics keep it below a 9.

Clean and press for sure. I agree with everyone else on the 8.5

8.0 to 8.5

I'll join the chorus of 8.5s after a clean/press - if the intention is to sell then almost any grade is worth the press and clean

Looks like an 8.5 train...

LOL, i should have first disclosed that he is not going to be sending to CBCS for grading. He is going to send to cgc. If going to CBCS I would guess 8.0-9.0 at very best.

I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie. flanders private msg quote post Address this user
7.0-8.0
