Hi all, Looking for a grade on this copy of X-Men #58. It’s a stumper for me because of the printing crease across the masthead and the distro or date stamp ink on the back. Looking forward to the expert opinions here, thanks!

It don’t get better than that!! Congrats! What an awesome copy of a great cover

My favorite juggy cover by far! Thanks for sharing! I say 4.5 as well. Great color!!

Either it’s real or both ours are fake! Always happy to have an excuse to take this out of its bag!

Hi, I don’t know if it’s of interest but a while back someone I’ve done multiple great deals with) not on the boards) offered me a 4.0 of the 1939 NN 1st appearance (the Montgomery ward). If it is, feel free to PM me and I’d be happy to try to connect you two. It was so out of my wheelhouse but super cool!

Yes it does!

Well as of today CGC will do it too!

It’s funny I never would have linked them but that foreground figure on the GW50 looks a LOT like a Kurtzman figure from the silhouette

Yup and then he’ll throw in someone completely not mannered or cariacatured like the figure bottom right on the Wyatt Earp. His brushwork, his blacks, he’s such a master

Jack Davis is my absolute favorite comic artist. Thanks so much for showing these!

RIP Paul Auster. Loved your novels, loved many of the movies adapted from them (eg The Music of Chance), and especially love the comics adaptation of City of Glass. If you ever have a question about why David Mazzuchelli is an absolute master, read City of Glass and realize you could probably orient yourself and navigate Grand Central Terminal and the surrounding area using solely his interiors and exteriors. Kind of like Peckinpah or Raimi, you never lose sense of where you are and what it is happening, regardless of how chaotic things get. when I was looking for a suitable image for this post, I found this stellar essay that puts it much more officially than I can Essay

I didn't think I would see another GREAT SOCIETY other than my own. 1st appearance of Super LBJ, someone should grab it!

Interesting! Another book that - in person - to my eyes seems to have only perusable defects (bend BRFC, bend BLBC, stacking curve), but is consistently below 8.0 here. The problem is that with this book I'm not sure it's worth the pressing/slabbing fees to find out

Great transaction with picky collector. Got a few great books, shipped quickly and packaged well!

GORGEOUS

Hi crew, Picked up a lot from a collector and found several “heartbreakers,” including this phenomenal copy of Daredevil #45 that has a cleanly popped bottom staple. Wondering whether this just turns out to be a qualified grade or something else. Thanks!

Great grab!

This is SO interesting, thanks! And now I am fascinated by one question, if this is a stamp placed by the OO: why is the placement of the stamp on mine so obviously deliberate and the placement of the stamp here so haphazard? EDIT - dead center top front cover is actually haphazard, so never mind!

OH YEAHH the boxer briefs key!

Take please!

Hi @vaillant @Primetime @esquirecomics I asked a friend of mine here about this stamp and they said you all might know. Thanks so much for any info!

I’ve got a copy of this, but someone should grab this! A particularly good issue of these great Marvel Mags!

Nice grab!!
