Glad this book was never used for a grading contest - would've called it a 2.5, even if that big creasing near spine might be tears.

Spring 1982 (1) NM-

Think that should be 1980.

Great lot what looks to me like a great price for such nice copies.  GLWTS.

Recently read the Dreadstar storyline which starts in 1-9 and 15 of this series ("Metamorphosis Odyssey," part I of a long IV part saga including the 2 graphic novels and the Dreadstar comic series).  Good story and art, lot of great other content throughout the series.

Been on my watch list almost since the day it started. IIRC it was listed for$650 originally. One of the best HOM covers ever drawn. Anyone here get it??

Odd to see a comic with dogears at both open corners in a 9.2 case. 

Agreed it's a really cool cover.

Wow, I knew this thread was bad, but I didn’t think it would break the boards.

 

And here I was thinking it crashed because I laughed at an inappropriate joke.

This sucks man.

Sound like inside job/inside help. What're the odds, over 75% that's how you got targeted?

X-Men Classic #63 NM- $ 2 copies availble.

 

Need the price, 'prunester.

Nice, one of just three Marvel 'superhero' books with ten cent cover price, IIRC.

This is incorrect. eBay charges on the fees that the buyer pays. I do not use the Global Shipping Program for all of the reasons outlined above. I charge actual shipping costs. Fees are charged on the dollar amount that is paid me.

You're very experienced on ebay, your decision was not to go the 'free shipping' route that a lot of dealers established. Did you ever test it out?

The theory being that 'free ship' attracts more buyers, and at least some of them would factor the ship cost into their bids (hopefully the highest 2 bidders among them).

Just curious for you pov, given how long you've been at it.

^take it, please. Thx toro!

Looks like this is gone (other side is 2 ads, one of them for "camo. tubes" just 50 cents +a dime for s&h):

3.0.

I'd guess a 7.0.

I'd guess you get at least a 5.0 from CGC for this book.

Yup, looks a 2.0 to me, maybe a 1.8 depending on how many bits of the spine are split.

Those pen marks around her shoes are still less defacement of the cover than most signature copies have.

I wouldn't slab it unless you think it might have restoration.

You already know the grade it would get w/some certainty, so the only reason to spend all that time/money would be for a restoration check, since this is such a popular book it's pretty liquid if you ever need the dough.

5.0 is "average."

I'd guess you'd get a 5.0 (small chance of 5.5) from CGC if you sent it in to be suffocated.

Thank you for grading. As you can probaly tell, I am new at this so please bear with me. What is a "top loader" and where does one purchase one? From CGC? Sounds like a interesting option.Thanks!

Happy to share - the "top loaders" are reusable protection (nothing as permanent nor as secure as slabs, to be clear) made of heavy plastic, and you slide your comic (including the bag/board) into the top, and it affords some extra protection.

Here's a pic (one empty, the other with the GR reprint of JIM 83):

Try searching for "comic book toploader," that should find what's available; I've never bought them, just received them on occasion with my purchases.
