fantastic_four Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I wonder if this was down graded slightly for the signature on the cover. I can unreservedly say the answer is no, mostly because I'm pretty sure CGC doesn't downgrade for sigs below the nosebleed level, but also in this case because the book has enough pre-chips on the right side and spine ticks to never have had a shot at a 9.2. This is the first time I've seen a pre-chip that long get a 9.0...looks like the biggest one is around 3/4" long. I've got an 8.5 copy of FF #4 graded during CGC's first year that is a 9.4/9.6 except for one chip that looks extremely similar to the one on this X-Men #1...Bunky's book is the best example I've seen that it's absolutely worth resubmitting that baby for a higher grade. GREAT looking book, grats on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiderphill Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) Impulse buy. Let me in!! I'm not a marvel chipping guy but I can deal with this book for some reason. Edited February 22, 2013 by spiderphill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREAT looking book, grats on it! cgc has increased hammering stains and decreased hammering on chipping. All old label books with chips should be resubbed IMO. That's based on everything they've been grading lately. Overall they seem a little more strict and consistent so I cannot complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatterEaterLad Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I can vouch for that. I've had a ton of slabs come back lately and staining has been the death knell of some of these books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magneto Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I can vouch for that. I've had a ton of slabs come back lately and staining has been the death knell of some of these books. Gonna have to go look through my possible CGC submissions and see which have a stain. I know my X-Men #1 had a stain on the top corner and it got a lower grade than I hoped.

Disco Stu Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Are X-Men #1s value depressed right now or is it just me trying to convince myself to blow my Wondercon budget on one book? A book I've been yearning and sometimes burning for since I was a wee lad by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderphill Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 For the long run a nice eye appeal and decently grade should be safe. I just bought one out of impulse and I'm still excited haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magneto Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I am starting to think more and more that this book may bump in value in the near future. In a few other threads there were quite a few people looking to pick one up. X-Men was a big book throughout the latter part of last century and those individuals are getting more disposable income. The new movie could also prove to be a good boost as well! I gotta finish my X-Men run before others catch up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwog Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Well, I can't be in the club yet, but I am closing in on completing my X-Men run. I hope to accomplish my goal this year culminating with a mid-grade #1. So, for now I'll continue to lurk here and keep wiping the drool from my chin. Thank you all who have posted their #1s here; it keeps me inspired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwog Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Good luck finishing the X-Men run. I'm still 44 books and many years away from completion. Thanks! I'm 23 books away, but all my books are raw (with a few exception) and vary in grade. I'm happy with mid-grade for the older books and I am not a CGC collector. However, for my #1 I may decide to go with a CGC graded book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magneto Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 23 is getting very close! I started getting raw at some varying grades but then decided to go CGC to ensure the condition I wanted long term. I have a first issue CGC 4.0 that I will eventually upgrade.

Disco Stu Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I thought I was closer than I am. 52 to go including numero uno. Mine are raw and mostly in the gd/vg range for the silver age. I want to put a dent in that number during this Wondercon, but that #1 is so tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
