Hello gang, You know the drill. Picked up this ditty and was wondering what grade to give it. Gut says 5.0 or 6.0...but what do I know? Heartbreaking stain on back, ticks, a couple soft edges. Thoughts? Thank you!

Yup. That’s what I am talking about.

I figured as much. I mean it's still an X-Men 98 at a nice price. So perhaps worth the pick up anyhow.

Hello everyone! I need to figure this out. I found an X-Men #98 that for some strange reason had it's front cover chopped too close to the title up top and at the bottom. When I compared the same comic book to another one, the variance was very noticeable. Is this an acceptable condition for grading? Does it ding the grade? Clearly, this is a printer error and I was uncertain how the community in general feels about it. Any comment/thoughts are welcome. I wish I had a photo to better articulate what I saw, but never got a pic.

Thanks everyone. So next question, is it even worth grading if I can't get at least a 9.2? I am not planning on selling. Just archiving.

Hi gang, Happened upon the copy of X-Men #120 in a swap meet. There are flaws but one in particular shows. It appears to be either an ink dot or something else on the "A" of "Canada". Take a look. I am uncertain what it is exactly but my gut tells me it will get dinged hard by a grader. Any thoughts on a grade would be appreciated, thanks.
