PGM X-Men 179

Hi,

 

Thanks a lot for your grade!

 

I also have a question that goes along with this one, if anyone has a minute. This copy looks great in hand. Just a few super small spine creases and a BR small corner crease and a small rub just under Spidey's head in the UPC box. It also has 7 non color braking spine stress marks. Non of them extend past the black boarder line - super small.

 

So onto my question. How much do the super small spine stress makes take a book down in grade? You have to look at the cover moving it in the light before you even pick up on them. Also - if this book did not have the other flaws and just the NC spine stress makes what would it grade as?

 

Thanks a lot for any help. As I mentioned in a few other posts, I am having fun grading all my X-Men and a lot of them from this era are in great shape and just have those small non color breaking stress marks.

If the lower spine corner has a slight bend based on what I am seeing on BC that keeps from lying perfectly flat I will say 8.5. If not I am thinking 9.0/9.2

Thanks for the info guys!

 

Any thoughts on how much super small (non even going past the black boarder line) non color breaking spine stress lines take a book down?
