RockMyAmadeus Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 then the highest and only graded for this. I love this cover. I could not believe it's never been graded yet.... I searched high and low for this book. It never seemed to show up on ebay. Snagged it on a snipe (thumbs u That's a full on greytone, and the slab doesn't mention it! How odd! very nice!

PokerKid Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 My three "free" subs back after being dropped off at SDCC. This one picked up from Metropolis as a 9.0. Looks like we all agree. It has a small tear near the top staple that keeps it from grading higher. This one's an eBay purchase at a nice price. I have a CGC 7.0 and thought this was as good and has a shot at 7.5. Apparently it is only just as good with slightly better page quality. This one sat on ComicConnect for months and the seller wouldn't budge. I finally couldn't hold out and went ahead and purchased it after failing to find a copy even though I felt I overpaid. It was listed as VG and I agreed it was a very nice VG, but with the hole in the cover expected a 3.5-4.5. I like being wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassemble Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Received this week from CGC. Obviously, a major disappoinment with #1 and a slight one with #3 (a small stain on inside URC; you tell me if it looks worse than #6 ...) but not so with #6.

joeypost Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Received this week from CGC. Obviously, a major disappoinment with #1 and a slight one with #3 (a small stain on inside URC; you tell me if it looks worse than #6 ...) but not so with #6. A small stain will knock a books grade down considerably. Even if it is structurally superior #3 deserves to be downgraded due to the stain. Be thankful it was not a larger stain, you might be looking at a 7.5 or 8.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerKid Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 The Awesome! I am thrilled with this one. For a silly X-Men variant, this one was much harder to track down and much more costly than I expected. I lost several eBay auctions for raw copies before finally winning this one for $61 from a seller who didn't list the condition (but did say it was NM in an e-mail). I expected a 9.6 so The Good OK, I should be thrilled, however in my entire collection I own only one 9.9 comic - it happens to be this book. I decided to send in my raw copy anyway because I thought it had a shot at a 10 and no worse than a 9.8 and I could get my money back. Now I have two 9.9s of the same title. Weird.

PokerKid Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 All are for my personal collection (except for the dupe 9.9) so I do realize that financially some of these make little sense. The predictable (luckily most of the subs were what was expected) Happy with this pickup from SD. Thought it could go 9.6 or 9.8 Expected a 9.6 but I love this cover and haven't found a better copy. The bad Expected 9.8 but missed The WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
