PGM - X-MEN Issue 14 - GRADE NOW IN

[Still Only 35c]

Only one today (just got in mail Friday). X-Men Issue 14, first appearance of Sentinels.

 

Looking to get it pressed prior to submission, would appreciate your thoughts on the grade before and after pressing.

 

– blunting; all corners

– minor spine ticks; two color breaks

– tickon RHS (next to Sentinels hand)

– colour break crease LLC (next to Xaviers elbow)

 

Otherwise book lies flat, has good gloss and colours.

 

Super hi-res here

7.0 No need for a press. (thumbs u

This is a nice looking book. I would have to guess 7.0 to 7.5 (thumbs u

You have a number of small spine stresses and creases with a few that break colour. There appears to be some impact damage on the LHS lower corner front cover and along the lower front cover. A couple of small chips and impact abrasions on the RHS of the front cover and a corner crease top RHS front cover. There is small colour chip/break and minor stress or impact damage on the Sentinel's chest and just below his right arm. Finally there is what appears to be a small ink or colour smudge in the "N" in Sentinels. On the back cover there is a small stress crease through the words "Like To Draw" and a small set of scuff marks on the RHS top corner.

I'll say 7.5, nice positive qualities

I say 7.5 easy , that grades right on

[Mystafo]

I only see a couple pressable defects on the bc...might help the grade a little. I'd 7.0 as is....maybe 8.0 after press/clean?

7.5 - beauty!

[Wilson3d]

7.5 with a possible 8.0 from me.

Graded version (after a press by CCS), very happy with result.

Did Matt say what it would grade before the press?

[Vision75]

I agree with the masses. It looked like a 7.5 before the press, but it certainly looks better afterwords. Nice book and congrats!
