PGM X factor 6 & 24

[Jay1982]

Almost done with all these threads. I'm trying to gauge on what to submit for my next order. Thanks everyone for being so kind!

 

So here is #6. The thing I am wondering about this book is that the staples are located more to the back of the cover than on the spine. Can this affect the grade? The corners are sharp, no splits, ticks, or anything. There is a light crease about 3/4 of an inch long on the back cover, seemingly invisible on the scan which I think can be pressed out. Hoping it can be a 9.8+ if the staple location doesn't factor in.

 

 

 

Alright so here are 2 copies of Xfactor 24. I think that copies A and B are 9.2 (maybe 9.0?) and 9.4 respectively. But I wanted to make sure and see where I am at in self grading. Copy B has the same staple issue as 6

Just wondering if no one is chiming in because the grades I estimated as are fairly accurate or that these books are jank?

#24 is an awesome book, I started reading comics in original language back then.

 

Less people probably due to the fact it’s more difficult to judge high grades from simple scans. #6 is definitely high-grade, you may have a 9.6.

#24 copy A looks more like a 8.5 to me, while #24 copy B can be a 9.2-9.4 if cover lies perfectly flat.

I would rub away the dirt gently with an eraser, anyway.

Awesome! Thanks for that. Yeah you are right. It's definately a lot easier to make an educated guess if the book isn't top notch. Really appriciate the feedback and suggestions

BTW, the Four Horsemen and Archangel storyline was great, but then Marvel made things go awry for the Mutant titles and, eventually, for all the rest.

In my humble view, These boards are mainly for grading books, regardless of the quality or collectibilityy. I do want to say these boards have helped me become a much smarter buyer...

I know what grade I'm buying now and have found a few great deals because of it.

That‘s why I have written By The Way…

6: I'd agree 9.4/9.6 there's a tick an inch above spideys head.

24 A: 8.5/ off chance at 9.0

24 B: 9.2/9.4

 

I've boughten lots of X-Factor books from bin's, some even un bagged, these books are robust!

[Jay1982]

Awesome! Thank you everyone for posting!

 

Hado, that's one crazy set of eyes you have. I hadn't even seen the tick! Doesn't look color breaking. Hopefully I can do something about it

Got the grades back. X factor 6 got a 9.8, and sent in copy B of X factor 24 9.8.
