Defects that press out & one's that dont PART 2


Well After some Humidity and a Press here are the results to my Aquaman #11.









The Crease in the "A" was taken out nicely , and the overall condition of the upper spine flattened out with the color breaking ticks remaining.


The Folds going through Aquamans arm and Mera's Hair GONE , with only the color breaking line remaining above and to the left of her Hair. 











The color breaks remain but the spine looks flatter and tighter. not a huge improvement here but better than before.











See the difference in the large black area below "AMAN" and above the word bubble, very nice. the color breaking folds remain but are less poppin' with the press. The black area below the oct No.11 also improved greatly. 








    Id say overall the results were good , all the cover dings and creases that could come out did! and without a doubt improved the overall appearance of this book. It would more than likely get a 1.0 grade bump. This book is not really worth submitting as is it even with the press, a lower mid grade copy and my return would be minimal at best. But it was a great book to show some Cover problems that could be helped ! 

  Next week we will look at the back cover and how we sometimes don't consider the inside as much in our overall grades. We will again use before and after pics to show what i'm doing here.
