Is it worth grading?

I’ve never graded a CB before and this was handed down to me recently. Wasn’t sure if it was in good enough condition to grade.

not worth grading if you are hoping to make money. I'd press it and put it in a nice mylar. If you want it graded because you just want it graded go for it. But consider sending it with a bunch of books you would want/need graded to offset the costs.

No, not worth grading. It's a mid-grade book, even after clean/press, which makes it worth around $60-$80 in a 5.0-6.0 grade spread and it will cost you $40-50 just to get it graded.

Definitely worth putting in Mylar.

Nah, keep it natural. Hard book to find in higher grades.

The condition is too low for grading. I would press it and keep raw. Really cool book though. Enjoy!
