CGC is probably more forgiving than I would be with heavy fading. I suspect it will come at least 5.0, but to me it's such a major eye-appeal killer that I have a hard time thinking of it being worthy of that sort of grade.

I was going to bump this thread too! Look forward to hearing the answer.

I'll be curious to see the result. Just as one data point, I dimly remember a CGC 4.0 X-Men 94 shown here many years back that was downgraded for a severe front cover fade... in my mind the book was pretty tight other than the fade. Anyone else remember that one?

If I'm entirely honest, for me $200 doesn't feel that far under the 'right' price to pay for the #129. I would tend to value a book with heavy fade more like a G to GVG... though who knows, red hot book as always and the market could well say otherwise.

You are correct. CGC will hammer this amount of fading.

I feel like it might come back in the 4.0 range.
