PGM Uncanny X-men #1 - Added actual scans

[gdfisher]

I just put up these new actual scans, please rate based on them.

The book is much cleaner than I thought. The only question is if the worn areas near the spine will bring the grade out of VF range.

 

 

 

 

 

It's hard to tell from these cell phone shots, but this looks to me like VF range. I don't know what the stains are on the back cover. Do you think its enough to pull it out of VF?

with a press possible but pics are fuzzy

I'd say 6.5. Let us know if you plan on selling it. Lots of X-Men fans trolling these boards, myself included.

I am putting it up for sale. I have a couple of customers interested as is, but I'm considering having it slabbed.

Yes, absolutely.

Somewhere between 6.0 and 7.5 would be my guess. If it's hard to grade from a scan it's ten times as hard to grade from a fuzzy photo. I'd sent it in to be graded if I were you. Get it pressed and dry cleaned while you are at it.

Hah I misunderstood... I thing a press could bring it to VF range

[Phantalien]

Those edges seem too crisp for what I am used to from that era. Otherwise it looks really nice and the gloss from the color gives it even more eye appeal!

Keep in mind the spine, the tiny corner fold that a small tiny amount of what I think is a printing error near the bazooka.

TIPS ON SCANNING

 

Don't crop the edges of your scans too tight to the book, edges and corners tell a lot about a grade.

 

Worth repeating! Place a coloured backer board or paper behind your book prior to scanning. This will help to accentuate the edges of your book making it easier to grade. Be sure that the backer board is not the same or similar colour as the general colours of the front or back cover.

 

It might also help with the washing out that seems to have happened to the stains on the back cover.

Hard to tell for sure from those pics. Maybe7.0ish.
