  1. A press will improve this, I don't see any chance that it gets to 9.8. 9.4 is my max, I'd expect more like 9.0/9.2 post-press.
  2. 5.0. You've got color breaking stuff right through the front cover. Better to look for a better and/or already graded copy given the FMV unless this copy has special meaning.
  3. 4.5/5.0 b/c of what look like a longish crease across the cover
  4. 4.0, but I would be surprised by higher
  5. Scratches are treated a little like creases. You might get a 9.0, but I'd guess more like an 8.0 withs some room on either side depending on the grader.
  6. 6.0 max as that's a healthy reader crease
  7. Mark me down for an 8.0. I agree. I snagged a dozen or some lower/midgrade from the era 20-25 years ago out of clearance bins at NEC & I enjoy them even if they're not gradable. I did score a 7.5 on the X-Men 49 from the bunch, probably paying $10-15 for it in 2001/2002 dollars. Likely worth more now than I paid for all of them.
  8. Looks 6.0/6.5, but I would not be surprised at all with a 7.0
  9. The notes say staple rusted. I believe 9.6 is the best you can hope for. To consider more than reholdering, there should be some kind of visible defect like some soiling or pressable indention to fix, especially since c&p is not a 0-risk proposition.
  10. There are worse examples. Like unloaded on with a firehose of ink...
  11. Near impossible to tell between 9.4-9.8 with photos. Since you don't usually get notes for those, it often feels like you could get anywhere in that range depending on who handled it.
