Is this pressable for that slight crease on the upper right?

 

I've seen a lot of GSXM #1's pressed

Doesn't look like a press would help since it breaks color (thumbs u

 

Definitely nice but they KILL you for those creases. My SS4 is very similar with a little bigger crease and got an 8.5 so i'd say you're in that range. I dont know if you can get a 9.0 with a crease that size so i'd say 8.5 or at best 9.0.

I don't think it is worth slabbing...i think 8.0 but you might get lucky with 8.5 since the rest of that book is very sharp.

 

no way on pressing and that top right corner crease.

Hey, is it even possible to get a 9.0 with a crease that size? If the book was a slam dunk 9.8 but with that crease, what would it get? Still max 8.5?

Let me ask my investment is $15. This should be one of the major books to spike. Is it worth it for a 8.5/9.0. By the way the crease is not visable on the other side of the front page. In hand you can barely see it as well......

I dont think its worth slabbing personally. Fairly recent GPA for a 9.6 is only like $100ish, 9.2 is $50ish. With what its gonna cost you for slabbing and postage, its gonna have to be a pretty big spike to make it worth while for a 8.0-8.5 imo

I don't think I have ever seen a 9.0 slab with a corner crease 1" or larger...however how light the color broken crease.

 

I had an X-men 1 9.0 with a gorgeous spine and perfect back cover...there is a light crease that broke color about 1/3 to 1/2 ".

 

I sold it long ago but there is a scan of it in my X-men #1 club thread. based on that and many other 9.0 that I examined...I stick to my guess that this won't go higher than 8,5

I think you are right also from what i've seen but wanted to know for sure. Creases are one of my BIG no nos on a book so i dont have a lot of experience with what grades they would get so just wanted to clarify. I was pretty sure 8.5 would be the max but wasnt positive (thumbs u

[etanick]

for decades, I had 3 in the 9.4 to 9.6 range. I think I sold 2 of them last year for $10 to $15...I know I have one left..need to dig it out to see if it is sub worthy.

[sufunk]

As a HUGE avengers fan, I'm biased but since that book is one of my all time favorite reads, I definitely wouldn't slab it!

[WEBHEAD]

I have a beater so slabing it might be a nice surprise in a year or so

It's a FN/VF (7.0), but CGC will likely grade it higher.

 

Not worth grading for resale, IMHO, as most potential buyers will be put off by the crease.
