The Daily Grade: X-Men #34

[divad]

Gentlepersons,

 

YMHO's please:

 

 

 

Merci beaucoup,

[supapimp]

5.0

[divad]

Next! (yer' killin' me!)

[NewtSamson]

Around 6.5 to 7.0

It'd grade higher if not for the LLC

[divad]

5.0

 

Now HERE's a 5.0:

 

 

That's the trouble with scans . . . you really need to have the book in hand.

[NewtSamson]

That Plastic Man is really neat. What year is it?

[supapimp]

actually that book looks almost better than the 5.0, this book is a 4.5.

[uclapeterg]

6.0.

[divad]

That Plastic Man is really neat. What year is it?

 

1967 Plastic Man #7

[divad]

actually that book looks almost better than the 5.0, this book is a 4.5.

Supa - My point exactly!

[Aces]

Is that a production crease and not a tear on the bottom of the back cover?

 

6.0

no worse than 5.5

6.0

no worse than 5.5

 

No crease, no tear - very light schmutz

[FFB]

5.5 to 6.0, mainly due to the reading crease that runs about a quarter inch in from the spine, and other edge wear.

[FFB]

I wouldn't go 5.0 on this one. I'd say it's also a 5.5 to 6.0. Are those two tears in the top edge? If so, then 5.0 to 5.5, leaning toward 5.5 still. The book looks pretty tight overall. Good eye appeal from the scan.

 

5.0

 

Now HERE's a 5.0:

FFB,

 

The funny thing is that these two books aren't even in the same league, nevermind ballpark. This is a good example of how scans are imperfect, no matter how well done.

It might be interesting to point out that 5 of the books from this particular pedigree (the "tomato box" pedigree, starting at #23) were CGC'ed. The lowest grade received was 7.5, the highest was 8.5, and the lowest page quality was O/W.

 

Gentlemen, I am perplexed at your evaluations.

I said 7.0 so I was close

[divad]

Yes, you were fine sir! (But then again, you WERE the winner!)

[NewtSamson]

It's good to be king.

I like the relatively fresh appearance, but I'd have to go 5.5/6.0 due to the reading creases. That Plastic Man is in about the same ballpark grade-wise, but just has different problems.

 

Nice book, David!
