PGM Giant Sized X-Men 1 0

The back corner is a hard crease but no tearing.  Solid insides with no staining or cut outs.  I've got it as a 6.0 - what do you think?

[CCComics]

Im thinking 4.0/4.5

[Dick Pontoon]

I think you need to go back to Grading School. 4.0, maybe a 4.5.

[Point Five]

Yep, exactly what these guys said. 4.0/4.5 range, way too much creasing on both sides for midgrade.

So this one is lower grade then the water stained copy I had it between a 5.5 and 6.0 but I do have difficulty with these mid grade copies (based on the grading contest).  Looks much better then the standard 4.5 copies I see floating around.

I am also at 4.0 possible 4.5.

His is wetter... yours is creasier. (And yes, I'm aware this may up in the out-of-context thread.)

Good discussion.  I disagree but I've always given water damage a huge hit to grade. 

But regardless I do agree after looking it over again that 6.0 is out of the question but I believe 4.5 is a bit strict.  I don't think I'll ever get it graded since they sell very well ungraded but maybe the next guy will get it graded and we can see how it does.

I have not seen the water damaged book you are referring to. Water damage should be a big hit to a books grade.

I think it's the book right below mine in the PGM book section.  Grade seemed to hover around the 4.0 / 4.5 range and it's got front and back cover water staining and looks to have somewhat similar tiny tears (I think mine has less tears and a better spine but they are close).  If the water book is a 4.0 / 4.5 then I see mine as a 5.0 / 5.5 but that is just me.

5.0. Bump for overall appearance despite the creases 

[CCComics]

It's funny, you had it at a 6.0 in the beginning, then you had it at between 5.5 and 6.0 now you have it at a 5.0/5.5. At this rate, eventually you'll have it right at 4.0/4.5.

I don't see it.

I see the book owned by Gregha that came back a CGC 7.0, and the next one I see is the one with the spine split that is a 2.0. I didn't go beyond the first 4 pages in the Please Grade My forum.

[PunisherPunisherPunisher]

Send it to PGX, looking at a good 9.4 

[kimik]

Without a press, I would grade and price this as 3.0. There are a lot of creases, tears and handling/reading bends on it, as well as light soiling/transfer. After a press, I can see 4.0/4.5.

I was thinking 5.0, maybe drop to 4.5
