buddy2 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) Hi, I am trying to determine what the potential grade is for my X-Men #2. I really don't know what the impact of the piece out in the top right. Interior pages look ok. White/Off-White, I believe. Back cover does have a small tear on top. Any thoughts on the potential grade? I really appreciate any help as I am still learning how to apply the grading guide. Thanks.

silversurfer275 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 2.5 buddy2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I think 2.5 is a tad harsh. The chunk missing sucks. If it were not missing, I think you have a 4.0-4.5 copy in hand. With it missing, I think it gets bumped down to around 3.5. Much nicer than a lot of 3.0's but the piece missing keeps it from being VG outright so 3.5 is where I settle. buddy2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galen130 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 A clean/press might help the soiling on the BC, but it would have to be done carefully. 3.0/3.5. buddy2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
