Yeah I'm back with the same question but a different book - you guys were really helpful in my last post so I'm taking a shot and see what yall have to say about my copy of Silver Surfer #44.....    It looks like it was marked by a highlighter marker in the UPC box? Maybe this can be cleaned? Also it's hard to tell by the pic but it looks like it was in half a little, there is a faint line that goes from the edge to the tip Drax's cape just below SS's elbow. I was hoping to slab it but it needs pressing and I would at least like to get a 6 out of it. |

| Press it, I can see that bend in the book. You'll be stuck with the marker ink though. | ||

 I bought a meat grinder on amazon for $60 and it's changed my life.

 I've spent years perfecting my brand of assholery.

| Out of curiosity, what makes this a key? The glove? Not up to speed on this and might have the issue, which is why I ask. | ||

| @cbj102 Would pressing/cleaning improve this books appearance? Slightly. Would it improve the comics grade? Potentially, but not by much if any. The grade is mid-grade at best. You may be able to get the 6 out of it, but we would need to see more high resolution photos including the inside and full back cover. Good luck! |

| If the marker can be removed the existing defects post pressing would still keep this book in a low enough range, that you are better of taking that money and investing it into a better copy. Sure, there are things that can be improved, but pressing, in this case, is not a magic wand. | ||

Like 3 months ago got a bunch of raw copies of these for few bucks. I guess I'll hold it and see what happens to the price.  |

| Seemed like the OP is hoping for a 6.0 after pressing and cleaning, if that's what makes him happy he should go for it. Sometimes value doesn't have to be motive #1 for slabbing a book. | ||

| I've been trying to squire a "reading" copy of this book off ebay for nearly a year. Even the worst condition books go over $20. But you can get a slabbed 9.6 for $100 if you hit it right. Weird one, this issue is. I recommend getting what you can on eBay and pick up a 9.2 to 9.4 slab or a nice raw copy for less than $50 but you may have to be patient for the right opportunity. | ||
