Newbie who received a comic book surplus from a friend. Was fortunate enough to have a couple in great shape and possibly worth $. Debating if it's worth getting it graded. Concerned about sending via mail in case anything happens to it. What are your opinions and experiences? thks (Amazing Spider-man 300 from 1988) |

 I'll probably wake up constipated.

| Doesn't appear to need pressing, but definately slab it and put it away. Many will say press it anyway. |

| If you're going to grade it, press it. Those non-color breaking creases that you can't see through the bag need some loving. | ||

| Pressing costs a few bucks and some time. More than worth it to avoid the heartbreak of “light bends” on your book’s grader notes. | ||

| Thks so far, I will likely sell it at some point but want to preserve it in the meantime. From what I've read graded are more valuable then raw at 9.4 or higher depending on the condition etc. Worried about losing it or it getting damaged in the mail. Im in eastern Canada so it would have a long journey to get graded. |

| Shipping: I've found that when shipping to both companies for grading....place the book in-between pieces of cardboard for security....tape secure with painters tape on each edge....ship in a gemini/omni mailer. Safely moved prior to slabbing. **yeah..Press and very light clean (doesn't hurt either). Good luck. |

| @khodd Definitely send in for grading. That's going to be a profitable book in just about any condition and that one looks nice. I would also get that pressed, but select a press pre-screen, too, so if the presser takes a look and thinks a press won't improve the condition, they won't do it. @ZosoRocks has some pretty good instructions for how to ship safely up above. Welcome to the forum!!  |
