last I promised - X-men 115

Ok, last of the bunch for you kind opinions. The only major flaws are the production creases on both the front and back cover. You can see around Storm's knee and about the same area on the back cover(right above THE NEW LOGO)...the rest of the book is crazy sharp.

9.4, probable 9.6. Printing creases won't affect the grade.

9.4

9.6

Looks like a small ding by Austins signature, so I would say 9.4.

If there's nothing there then 9.6. Very nice books.

[Tsimanga]

9.4

[marvelcollector]

Looks like 9.4, possibly higher

9.4, possible 9.6

The printing creases at time will knock on the grade and other times they will let them slide. One thing to look closely at is if there are any color breaks in the printer crease, or did the color stick. Its gonna be difficult for us to see that from the scan, but you can examine the crease and see color popping off, thats going to hurt the grade.

I don't get why you guys are grading this a 9.4/9.6. Looks like an easy 9.6 maybe 9.8 to me.

I'd have to say 9.6 on this also. The only thing I can see is the ding, spot on the spine that a previous poster mentioned. Very nice book.

no spine ding I assured you and that is just a stray color dot near Austin's signature and thanks for all your opinions. When and If I send these X-books to CGC, I will surely post the result.

 

By far, I am very pleased with all these X books I bought recently. By far the nicest raw stuff I was able to find in 30 years of collecting. Nothing in my collection, even the 9.8 slabs are this white or this bright in colors.

9.6

I had this book in 9.8 a few months ago, as long as there isn't any color loss in the printing crease, this book looks equally sharp.

[etanick]

hehe, I just read the thread on the general board with BucOne and the issue with the crease on the slabbed book....yike. I guess he won't be buying this book if i ever sell it

Printing creases were common on this issue number. I have one with a printing crease, front cover also, but different area.
