The most important book I ever held in hand was a coverless Marvel Comics #1. A local dealer purchased a nice golden age collection of books of mostly Batman, Captain America, and Marvel Mystery.

Intact is one word. Sorry, its a pet peeve of mine. The book looks pretty nice. I would say 8.5.

I would get the grader notes on the book if you haven't already, just to be sure there isn't something you didn't see. It does look like a 4.5 but they can hit a book pretty hard when it comes to water damage..

4.0

Just speaking from my experience , MCS usually grades their books a half grade lower than I would grade them. You just have tp be careful of some of their pricing of commissioned books.

I am looking at 5.5 as well.

It looks good enough to get a 9.4 IMO. That isn't disastrous.

I don't think anyone will tell you if that is a 9.8 without being able to hold it in their hands and get a really good look at it. The most I would say is it looks like a 9.4

I did not know that thanks. I agree with them.

With that stain I would presume to get 6.5. But otherwise, it presents well. CGC may surprise you with a 7.0

I would say 6.5. corners are a bit worn and there is a little wear around the staples and spine area.

With microchamber paper to make sure the pages don't brown.

How much do you really have to have an X-Men #1 is it your grail book? Are you just looking at it investment wise? If it is investment only I would probably pass.

I think it has a good chance to reach 5.5

1.0

Nice white pages, but I would say 3.0 because of the back cover stains.

I would go with 4.0

The only thing I would worry about is someone who knows nothing about comics but is buying the comic as a gift. Maybe a wife buying a book she knows her husband always wanted and she only knows what the cover looks like.

Yeah, that's I fine looking book. 7.5

Thanks! I spent ten minutes trying to post a crappy video and you have a library worth of photos! Those are great pics by the way....

Here are some old Jimmy Olsen and Superman books from the Help! movie.

5.5 Maybe higher. I'm not sure how much the overspray will effect the grade.

4.5

I see a color breaking crease above the top staple. My guess would be 9.0 without a press. 9.4 with a press.

There is a lot of speculation going on with this book since Marvel obtained the film rights. The same is true for FF48. I would expect both books to hold interest until an official word comes from Marvel Entertainment. The popularity of the titles will then rest on the shoulders of the film industry and the hopes that a Silver Surfer Movie or a Wolverine vs. Hulk movie (just examples) are successful at the box office. I personally don't see these books dropping in value unless the quality of Marvel films takes a page out of the Disney playbook. ( Star Wars).
