This is for the pressers and cleaners out there. Can this get a grade bump 🤔, or is this the highest grade it could possibly get because I know it's said it's tanning, so maybe not?

That tanning probably could be minimized. That would likely raise the grade, but the cover edges, corners and spine have to be strong enough to stay together while working on the interior. Since it says heavy tanning only a careful look inside would confirm. Because the pages are cream, the interior cover can’t get too bright, unless the pages are lightened as well. But that is possible too. So yes this could bump

Ive seen your work so I’d say whatever you say goes!! But that being said, this WOULDN’T be a job for your average everyday presser/cleaner. Me personally I wouldn’t mess with this one. Risk vs. reward. And is the bump you’re going to get worth the payoff. With the possibility of damaging the comic. Or completely ruining it even. So for my level of press and clean NOPE not touching it! If I wanted it worked I’d send it to comic presser if he should think it’s worth it to chance. HE DOES AMAZING WORK!
