PGM X-Men 94 3 3

[PickleRick1216]

Greetings all.

I just picked up this X-Men 94 at a small local sale.

Significant flaws are cover is detached at both staples, missing piece on bottom right corner and there is tape on the back inside cover near staples (please see pictures)

I would appreciate your professional opinions on the estimated grade.

Would the tape or missing piece merit a purple or green label or could I still get blue?

Thanks!

2.0 sounds about right.

good condition ... maybe good+ if CGC is real busy that day and the grader gets impatient

Thank you for all of the grade estimates. Full disclosure on this one- The guy had it listed for $250 I got him down to $200. I suspected from looking at it in the bag that the cover was definitely detached at one staple possibly at both. The seller hasn't held a show for over a year and he has a HUGE inventory so I think he may not have re-priced all of his inventory before his sale yesterday.

I checked the FMV estimate on gocollect and it is currently $625 for a 2.0 but the last 2.0 recorded sale was $140 on 12/2/2018. Obviously the $625 FMV is driven much higher due to the sale of higher 3.5 ($910) and 4.0 ($842) grades recently. My assumption is once it comes back slabbed from CGC in 18 months it will hold a higher fair market value than my $270 in total costs.

Would anyone else have picked this up at a tent sale for $200? Or should I have spent my Saturday more wisely hiking through central Florida looking for wildlife.
