| I dunno. Based on the grader's notes I'm not sure it would help any. It can't fix the foxing nor the color breaks. | ||

| @KYoung_1974 I don't believe a dry clean can fix foxing. It's like a stain. Once it's there it can't really be undone, to my knowledge. | ||

| Yeah, in that case, I don't think a clean and pressing would make a difference. It won't help a color breaking crease... | ||

 I showed my wife and she was so happy for me she started to cry.

| I wouldn't risk it, I have 8.5's that look better. You might go through all the expense and come back lower grade | ||

 It was a one trick pony show but always hilarious.

| My understanding is that foxing is the acid found in the paper oxidizing or revealing itself. Foxing can not be cleaned. Great book by the way! |

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

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

| It is always possible that you could get a grade bump. The biggest problem, the foxing will not get fixed by pressing. The press won't fix those color breaks either. |

 If I could, I would. I swear.

| Pressing won't fix anything listed in your grader's notes. | ||

@Enelson  If it ONLY had the few light spine ticks/very slight corner blunting, and the back was pressed out - I think you could get a 9.2 on this. The foxing is very light on the back cover, and the pages are White. BUT, the main thing for me is that corner fold at the bottom right.  (If that is in fact, what I am seeing? Hard to tell from photos!) I'd skip the press, but when in doubt have CBCS Press Screen it. Often times @SteveRicketts said he can tell just through looking in the case(without cracking) if a press will help or not. Cool book!   |

| Going to take this as a financial question. First, foxing and color breaks won't be fixed so chances of getting a higher grade seem remote. If you could get a higher grade, 9.2 at the most. Right now on ebay the lowest listed 9.0 buy it now is $175. The lowest listed buy it now at a 9.2 is $225.00. That's a $50 change in value (no idea what the free bids are going for, likely less). |
