    Just got this from Heritage. Submitted to "Buddy can you spare a grade" to see if they agree on Heritage rating.
  2. Bayowolf
    Yeah that brings it down....

    Recent one from auction. I think I got a bargain. Staples amazingly tight for such an old book. What looks like a small piece out or blunting at bottom left BC corner is actually a little extra original paper on corner folded up. I think that's a production error, so no defect? Anyway thanks. I got X-Men 7,8 then 10 through 30. Got to get that 9! Then work back from 6. Maybe I can get to 1 if I sell my car or house!

    Spine ticks are mostly not color breaking(CB), but are deep creases, which is better. There is "scuffing or color rub in a few areas on the front cover and a small dogear on the back cover" Plus back is fairly soiled. I'd say as-is 6.5 tops; but press may get rid of those deep creases and clean make the back cleaner. Then you can get a 7.5 I think.

    6.5 ..because of corner on back and dirt..get a C&P for 7/7.5
  6. Bayowolf
    I'll go 5.5 .. a good C&P could raise it to 6.5 or even 7.0

    No John T. NO SPINE SPLIT! Well attached to both staples and no tears at all. The answer is 7.0.. so you were all right on or very close. I tried for a Wings Comics No.1 with Heritage Sunday, but it went a bit over my maximum.

    9.0
  9. Bayowolf
    Anyone else before I tell as offered?
  10. Bayowolf
    9.2
  11. Bayowolf
    7.5

    and who is this other company ..PGX? Very hard to tell from the pictures for a grade. I can only see a few defects: 1) some spine tics but not major, 2) a bit of corner blunting, 3) back looks rather dirty, 4) MAY BE a tear at top staple on back, but might just be a crease or smudge - I cant tell! Without better pics I think it could be anywhere from 6.0 to even 8.0!

    Given its a golden Oldie..I'd say 5.0/5.5
  14. Bayowolf
    Got to be trimmed..might get an restored 2.0 tops
  15. Bayowolf
    Hmm, I don't know that grade As is 7.0/7.5 ..cleaning would help, but not sure what press would do
  16. Bayowolf
    8.5
  17. Bayowolf
    a couple tics on spine, some corner blunting and back appears a bit soiled, so 9.2

    "I’m curious as to how that cover will deflate the grade. " Quite a bit I'm afraid since the FC determines most of grade! Great pages and BC. But that diagonal crease appears to go through the book! 3.5
  19. Bayowolf
    Hmm, I was thinking 3.0 until I saw the big spine tear..then a 2.0 tops. If tape is applied on inside to hold cover on (which you should probably do anyway or you are going to "lose" whole cover!) will that increase grade since tape is accepted to preserve the comic?

    5.0 BTW there is a great thread discussing value of UK variants at
  21. Bayowolf
    I meant from your estimate...not the 5 from myComic shop...
  22. Bayowolf
    you are not far off
  23. Bayowolf
    6.5..you may get away with a 7.0..in any event great valuable book
  24. Bayowolf
    9.4
  25. Bayowolf
    Some small spine issues and minor corner blunting 9.0
