Please grade this Uncanny X-Men n°100

[Kermit the frog]

to everyone

 

here's another extra copy i have...which grade will it fetch?! a solid VF+/NM?!

 

the only "problem" i see is in the back cover a small impact area above the letter D of "landings"...but nothing serious!

 

 

 

regards, Pedro.

Tough to grade based on the small scan

I'm guessing 9.2

 

That's a really nice "spare copy". The scan's a little small to detect non color breaking flaws along the spine. The bottom right corner appears to have a small nick and there is a few edge dings that show up on the back below the green sweater man's elbow. As you've stated the ding on the back cover is obvious, but not a major defect in my opinion. I had a JLA #2 that I purchased from an antique store around 1988 in Colorado that was "beautiful VF/NM", until my girlfriend in college dropped an album on it an made an impact dent on the front cover similar, but bigger and deeper than the one on this X-men 100. I ended up selling it as a VF- (everyone involved felt it was a fair deal). In my opinion, the impact on the back is 1/4 grade defect at best. As most comics start out at 9.4 to 9.6 when new and the defect is on the back cover, I'd still give it a 9.2 (NM-). So your guess of VF+/NM is right on in my opinion.

there are no flaws along the spine, virtually perfect!!! the spine/colours/eye appeal is a gorgeous one.

Are those scans? or photos?

 

I agree that I can't see

[LastStarfighter]

9.0 bottom right corner dinged, slight spine roll(?), back cover indent, dirt bottom back cover.

 

Nice overall look though.

I agree.

That ding on the back won't get a better grade than 9.0. The dirt brings that down even more. Without a better scan I'd have to say 8.0-8.5.

In the 9.0/9.2 grade at how much does it usually fetchs on ebay?!

Don't bother with eBay - sell it to Arex for whatever he offers you
