Raze Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) Hi guys I was hoping for some help with a few books and one of them is my friends New Mutants 98 The scans look great but there are some pressable defects and Im looking through rose colored glasses and bias. Set me straight on this I like the NM 98 AS a VF/NM as it sits. What do you see? Edited September 13, 2020 by Raze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raze Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) Uncanny X-Men 120 I like this as a 6.0 FN set me straight please! The back really throws me off. Edited September 13, 2020 by Raze 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelz86 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I'm just learning to grade myself so I'm I'm interested in seeing what people grade this as. They defects on both books appear to be pressable with the one around Boom Boom's face being the most severe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Readcomix Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Is lower left corner on NM98 soft? Hard to tell in pic, otherwise I agree. No worse than VF+ Though. Might go FN+ on the 120, just that one obvious corner bend on the back really stands out. Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCOComics Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 For the NM98, the top left corner over marvel comics looks like it has a color breaking crease or tiny tear? I think it's a 9.4 / 9.6 after press. That's my opinion, but grading these higher grade books are tough because there is so little room for error. Beautiful book!

KCOComics Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Xmen120 - the big crease on the back looks like a press would help. Lots of spine ticks, but I think a 6.5 / 7.0 is pretty reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funnybooks Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) Nm 9.2/9.4 max even with press xmen 7.0 will improve significantly with a press Edited September 13, 2020 by Funnybooks Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just mean, in that first photo, the lower left front corner doesn't have the sharpness/squareness of the other three, but I can't tell if it's just the pic or if that corner is slightly bumped/worn compared to the others. If not, I'm at your grade or higher. Sorry for any confusion; it was late here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
