Just bought this book and need a grade on it! There’s some writing on the cover and i’m curious how much it affects the grade! Hoping for a 4.0

question - I am not a collector.  I just recently went through my collection to from when I was a kid and found that I have x-men #92, #93, and  #94.  The value seems like it might be worth getting graded but I am curious if there is value related to having 3 in a row like that as well.  I don't have much of a collection left - less than 30 comic books now and I'm not interested in keeping these.  I just want to sell and move on.    I saw this post on #94 and thought you might be good to ask.  

Hey! 92 and 93 are worth near nothing BUT 94 is a big issue and is worth quite a bit of money! If you’d be interested hit me up on instagram @nicholaseffrien and if you want to sell we can work something out! But no having 3 in a row generally doesn’t add to value and number 92 and 93 are NOT key issues!

So i recently received this xmen #94 in the mail and it got a small crack on the top of the slab! The book is pretty faded and I was just wondering if i were to reholder the book if i would receive a grade decrease. CGC seems to have acknowledged the fading in the graders notes but i’m just worried that they might decrease the grade. Let me know your opinions

Recently purchased this great copy of a hulk 180 for only 300 USD! I was kinda curious as to what grade you guys think this comic would get if i were to send it to cgc. There are old tape marks but the tape is no longer on the comic.

So I recently bought this Nova #1 first app of nova for a great deal of just 75 dollars and read that it has a label saying “3 staples added” The book is a really clean copy (looks like a 9.0 or higher) except that it has the staples. Would it be a good idea to break the case, take out the staples and CGC it or would leaving it in its case be the best solution? (It still has the original staples so its not restored) What grade would it get if i were to remove the staples and CGC based on the photo below?

We've explained that this is just how comics look. It's unclear what clarity you're seeking beyond that answer. Is there some decision you're trying to make about this comic?

about to submit this comic to CGC and im worried about getting a purple label back haha greatly appreciate all the feed back! i’m guessing the overall consensus is that it isn’t trimmed then!

This is a normal silver age Marvel thing, particularly around '67-'68 in my experience.

Trimming is just about impossible to make a definitive statement about via photo.

Okay, that said, on a 1 to 10 scale of increasing suspicion, I'd give this one a 6. The problem, in my eyes, is not that some of the reading edge is rough-cut and wavy. As you can see in those graded books, Marvel's printer didn't exactly use cutting-edge (ha!) technology in the late '60s, and so a LOT of their books like that. My problem is that parts of the reading edge look that way, and parts of the reading edge look sharp-cut and smooth. You've got rough-cut sections at the bottom, and aligned with the R in the title. But compare those to the sections aligned with Iron Man's left hand, or just below his knee.

That's not conclusive evidence either way, but it's easy to imagine this began with a markedly uneven edge that was then shaved down. Alternatively, parts of the production cutting blade may have just been sharper than others; we know that the printer wasn't real concerned about QA. I'm suspicious of this book, but I don't think you're going to be able to get a conclusive answer from anyone who doesn't have the book in hand.

 

My biggest problem with my book is that when I flay the pages it just looks like an extremely poor trimming job that someone did with a cutter here are some photos:

Zoom in for excitement:

Can you help zoom in to the right side of this CGC, do you think it’s similar to mine?

I recently bought this great copy of a iron man and submariner 1 and found that when it came it had extremely jagged right hand side of the comic and that it was not perfectly cut was just wondering if you guys think this comic was miscut or trimmed?
