    Yellow backgrounds are hard to grade b/c they hide defects pretty well. Guessing 8.5ish
  2. scburdet
    7.0/7.5
  3. scburdet
    6.0/6.5. Mostly for that top edge. Initial thoughts were a grade lower, but I think this sneaks into the just below VF range.

    9.2, maybe 9.4. THe corners again. Mine looks marginally better and got a 9.6.
  5. scburdet
    9.0/9.2. Corners look less than perfect.

    >9.0. IDK if Byrne will return to the circuits, but this would be a cool signature book.

    Around 9. Your pics are a little too dark to really see finer defects. Would need to see those to assess what c/p might do. I don't see anything signficant for C/P, but there could be some light handling issues to press that would be hard to see in photos regardless. Ink issues on the inside shouldn't be a factor. Only might keep something from getting a 9.8.

    7.5

    Low end of what I would have expected. My 4.5 was a 4.0 with a boost for being a semi-key. I'm guessing the split took what would be a 4.0 for creasing down a notch. They're pretty hard on splits

    9.0 or better
  11. scburdet
    9.0, maybe higher
  12. scburdet
    9.0 or better cleaned

    NG: back cover missing

    9.2/9.4

    Maxes out around 6.0 I think, but I think a 5.5 is more likely. I would not classify this as a great grading candidate even with the rare-ish MJ insert. I want to see something in the VF range and/or a key issue. Other than being from a desirable era of X-Men comics, there's not really an escalator to give you a ROI. Maybe if it has personal value & you had it signed by Claremont, it could be nice for your PC. I would not expect to get your $$$ back if you graded & sold it.

    your photos are showing up as black squares. Possibly not a format that this forum can handle.

    Strange Tales 153 signed by Jim Steranko

    4.0/4.5

    Both were sent to the CGC private signing, but the What if...? didn't get unboxed properly, so they sent it off to the SWAU signing. Probably not a label I would have chosen, but can't complain about the grade.

    There are several spots on the BC where there is something reddish/brown. IDK what that is, but if it's not ink from the inside ofthe back cover, it could be a problem.
  24. scburdet
    1.0 & no. No money or time invested will make this book grade higher.

    4.0/4.5
