Grade is in 5.0 OW

Thanks. That makes sense on both accounts.

With the upcoming signing by Chris Claremont, I am considering submitting one of my x-men 101’s for signature/remarque. I have never submitted books for private signing and would greatly appreciate your thoughts regarding the ROI. $70 for signature and $100 with remarque. What would you advise? Keep it as is, add signature or get the signature with remarque? Thank you for your imput.

Theft is a covered peril under both policies. An example of mysterious disappearance is losing something while moving or accudentally throwing it away.

Despite no mention in the grader’s notes, it does appear that the spine ticks are color breaking as you point out

Thank you very much for this insight. I was not sure on the foxing so I appreciate this input. Since the spine stress lines and the light creases were not color breaking, I (falsely perhaps) assumed that these could be eliminated through a well executed press. This book shows better than most of the 7.5’s that I own but this many speak more to the inconsistencies between appearance and grading. Barring any additional input, I will probably save the $300 in grading and pressing costs and retain it as it is.

The only thing that I have to go on is the graders notes that I attached. It looks like a very solid 7.0 as it is and I feel that the defects pointed out in the notes could be rectified by the C&P. As you suggest, the one issue that may not be remedied is the foxing on the back cover. Even 0.5 point improvement could be justified but a bump to 8.0 would make a nice ROI.

I am leaning toward resubmitting this after a clean and press but would greatly appreciate your thoughts.

Thinking about resubmitting after C&P, a pretty solid book that I believe would benefit from resubmission. Do you agree? Is 8.0 possible or am I being overly optmistic and should probably just keep the 7.0 and save the money? Graders notes also attached.

Many Home insurers will allow you to endorse the Home policy with a scheduled personal property/inland marine rider. Appraisals are typically required if an item’s value exceeds a certain amount ($3k-$10k). Generally, all risk coverage ( unlike CIS, mysterious disappearance is covered) with no deductible and many on a stated value basis (not ACV or even replacement cost). i just applied for a CIS policy and it is much cheaper to endorse my home policy with broader coverage. Premiums will depend on many factors including geography, vault/safe storage, credit score, etc

Title needs to be changed to ASM 20, not 30. Good luck

Take it

Good to know. Thanks guys! I will leave it untouched.

While I have been collecting for a few years now and have a decent collection, I still have so much to learn about the hobby and would appreciate your thoughts. I recently acquired this copy of Tales of Suspense 57 and I am considering sending it in for the Jeremy Renner signature. Would you consider this a solid investment or unlikely to add value?

Per PM, I will take this!

I’ll take it

Too quick for me! Nice

I see that he sells here too. Could be a win-win if no bids on the book

I was close to pulling the trigger on that one.

Take this one as well.
