Thanks William.

Does a pedigree add much, or any, value to a book? To be more specific, I have an X-men 52, CGC 8.5 blue label that notes "Northland".

Thank you everyone  

I struggle quite a bit with the mid/lower grades .. like everything below 7.0 is a VG ish grade

Anyway, I found some lower grade silver books I truly forgot about. Probably because of the lower grades. If anyone has an opinion on a grade it would be very helpful. The inside pages are rather nice but the cover wear, creases, and tear on the back makes this one of those mystery grades for me.

Even with the writing on the front cover?

Thank you all. 

Had a question about the Darth Vader issue below.

Is it a variant or am I just not finding it anywhere ... it seems the cover below doesn't match the pictures I find. Any thoughts would be helpful and appreciated 

Thanks again everyone -- good information. 

Book is readable .. 

As a kid, I couldn't afford or dream to buy X-Men #1 ... i mean, $500.00 for a NM book, who had that kind of cash

Anyway, some years later I picked up X-Men #1 ... but it was coverless. Definitely worn, tan pages, but no tears. Structurally sound and all pages intact, secured, and readable.

Any thoughts on how to sell this? 

I recently saw some auctions where the pages of key books like this were graded and sold independently. I had no idea that was possible.

I thank everyone for their feedback.

B2D327 ... yes, exactly what I tried to describe. Thank you, and the picture you put up says it all.

Thank you Jennifer -- i wanted to confirm that it was okay to mix services in one shipment.

Anyone have some knowledge on how much, if any, a manufacturer crooked binding impacts a books grade?

More specifically, you can see about 1/8" of the back cover on the front cover ... so it wasn't folded perfectly and its a little crooked. A little more visible at the bottom than the top.

I have (40) comics to ship/submit for grading. Using a CGC large shipping box.

(30) of the books are for grading

(10) of the books are for pressing, then submitting

Can I mix services and ship them all in the one large CGC shipping box? 3 inner sleeves are grading, 1 inner sleeve is for pressing then grading.

Would appreciate any help as I'd like to ship them out ASAP.

Thank you,

Rich
