Just trying to see how my grading measures up.

[DiceX]

8.5

[Arty]

 

Defects I can see: Stress lines on bottom staple, chipping?/stress on top edge.(hard to see on scan)

 

..... 9.0

 

BUT...there seems to be a crease on bottom rigth corner? If so ...maybe 8.0 is closer

I can't decide if DiceX or Arty are right. Could go either way.

[DiceX]

Good eye, Arty.

I didn't see the crease in the bottom right corner.

 

8.0 at best.

7.5 is my guess.

[UnrulyAppendage]

Yes, there is a crease at the bottom right. It breaks the color at the edge of the cover. Grading strictly, I was leaning towards 8.0.

Using my trained X-Men eye, I'd definitely concur on the 8.0 grade.

8.0. I had a X-Men 94 in 7.5 that I thought presented worse than this copy.
