jokiing Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 This comic looks like it was on the top of the bundle.... Received direct from distributor back in the day.... Opinions on grading this one please and what would you call the abrasions on the cover... back cover is not damaged at all... Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davet75 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Tough one to grade. Those multiple small color breaks will probably not count as a printing defect as they were likely due to distributor damage, therefore the same as multiple small color break creases or color rubs/scuffs. There's also an upper right corner bump on the front cover, and a color breaking crease on the bottom right corner of the cover. I'm going to go with 4.5 - 5.0, although some 5.0s I checked on ebays sold listings have better overall cover appeal than this one. I think opinions are going to vary widely on this one.

jokiing Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) Thanks.... I thought this would be an interesting one to grade.... the scuffs are definitely from mishandling.... like the top newspaper in a bundle thrown off a truck at 4 in the morning. There is also a dent on the right edge above Wolverine's collar. Edited August 10, 2018 by jokiing Afterthought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jokiing Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 Well... Sold on ebay with 11 bids. It was worth $12.50 plus postage to the lucky winner.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lions Den Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 My best guess is 5.5... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
