PGM Uncanny X-men 266

I am thinking around 8.0 due to abaded corner, but never had to grade a book with this defect. You guys take a look tell what you see.

In my opinion that is not an abraded corner. An abraded corner is the result of improper storage or handling. It has a look similar to blunting but less severe. That looks more like a bindery tear which is a production defect that usually does not effect the grade of a book below 9.2. Above 9.2 bindery tears and such defects are limited.

This book displays some spine creases and the bindery tear. The corners are not as sharp as they could be but it is difficult to be certain with the size of the scans provided.

I would say this book is around the 9.2 range IMHO! But larger scans would be helpful!

Agreed, but I think with the spine creases this book will not come back from CGC higher than an 8.5

All increase the scans later today. I thought that corner would hurt the book more so that's a nice surprise.

I'd consider buying it as an 8.0, but not as a 9.2 . . .

Increased scans by 20%

Now I give it 8.0

 

 

[Still Only 35c]

I believe this would most likely come in as a 8.5.

[GIJOEISAWESOME-migration]

With the increased scans, an easy 8.0, potential 9.0

Perhaps, but an honest one.

What's bringing this all the way down to an 8.0? I see the corner and three spine tics and maybe some stack rub on the back. Does that add up to an 8.0?

Looks like it has been restored by accidentally covering up a spine tick with a Japanese marker

The back was what had concerned me originally. I hadn't seen a book like this before so I was a little uncertain on the grade.
