I am totally not into X-Men (Uncanny, or otherwise) but... PGM Uncanny X-Men 282 2 2

[MPH1964]

I was sorting through some comics from a collection I bought 20 odd years ago out of San Francisco.  I originally purchased the whole collection just for the high-grade Spider-Man comics, but kept the rest.  Most I have never even looked at, and to be honest I was amazed at the condition some of them are in.  I thought I would post a few of the books to see if any were worth grading... 

Up first is Uncanny X-Men #282 - First appearance of Bishop (I have absolutely no clue who Bishop is...)  Spine is clean and corners are sharp, but unfortunately there is a bindery chip on the bottom spine corner and a very tiny edge tear that is visible when I placed a backer board behind it.  Book is otherwise flat and complete with white pages.

Any chance for a high grade?  Thanks!

Indeed. You can track them back to the yellow beams on the cover. I would venture a 9.6 or, if the graders got lucky the night before, a 9.8!

That's a minty book... I would not be surprised at 9.8
