csaag Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 hmm, books like this can be tough - at least for me 1st impression is a nice looking book, but you've got that spine split up top, plus discoloration over the X-Men logo, and that tanning or dust shadow on the back edge So how much do those defects affect it? The O/S guide first mentions a split at 6.0, then there's that logo issue and back cover tanning - is that just the back cover or is anything extending thru the pages? Due to those 3 defects I'd guess, and I stress guess, at 5.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Teacher Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I, too, guess 5.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 sounds good to me....5.5. Good luck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCOComics Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I'll go down a little because of the staining. 5.0 for me, all be it a very nice one. It would look great in a slab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehumantorch Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I think you overgraded the book from the beginning based on the rip at the top and the heavy tanning on the back but it presents beautifully. I don't think you legally owe him anything after a year but I would probably send him another $50 because the grade was so far off.

Was hoping you’d make your comments here: put this book in the pgm section to get other boardies opinion on grade....and I’m not sending another $50 but appreciate your feedback all the same Edited August 24, 2020 by c_mkv SOTIcollector 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And 15 months later, the issue is still open for debate? Tell him to send it back to you, in the slab or out of the slab if he prefers, send him the $300 he paid for it when it's back in your hands list it on ebay however he sends it back, raw or in the slab, it'll sell for more than the $300 you refunded, end of complaints and a profit for good measure. Problem solved and you're the one ahead of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just want to point out the $100 kickback occurred after 12 months....And GPA on a 3.5 means he should get his money back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
