Brendan H Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Posting a second book from my collection. Really appreciated the comments on the first one. This one looks a little bumpy on the spine - wonder if a press would help. Also appears to have some discoloration which can be seen on the back side of the front cover. Thanks again in advance - fun to be on some boards where people appreciate these.

JayBees Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 While I have no clue where this will fall, this looks fantastic to me. I really hate you right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan H Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 Honestly, diving back into comics in the last couple weeks has been great. I was a full on x-men kid in the late 70's. The part of my collection that I like best are the 100-150 (probably pretty complete but not high grade cus I loved reading them) with such great story lines that I was buying and reading every month. I started collecting and so I picked up some early x-men that have some value now but the ones I like the best aren't really the ones that are worth the most. I really like the ones in the 50's with the Neil Adams art and the 100-150 with the early modern x-men stories. It's really fun to be on these boards with people who appreciate these. Don't know your age, but I can say that the advice to buy what you like is really solid. I don't plan to sell these. They are worth more to me than they are on ebay. I mean, if I actually need cash for the kids or something, I'd sell them in a minute but if I can afford it, I'll keep and enjoy them.

James J Johnson Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 17 hours ago, Angel of Death said: 7.0 IMO. 7.0, outside shot at 7.5 with a very successful press, which will not mitigate the surface paper loss, front cover, spine corner. The press should be able to partially revise the back cover spine corner crimp, but will not remedy the fracture/crack in the paper central to the crimp, or most importantly, do anything to improve that surface paper loss aforementioned. IMO, the two possible grades are 7.0 or 7.5. The paper loss, the surface scuffed off should disqualify it from an 8.0 finding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
