One of my last comics (is it worth grading?) 0

[Chris Magee]

I've had this comic since I was a kid and when I sold off my collection it was the only one I kept.

It's not perfect but I figured post some pictures and see what everyone thinks. I've included pictures of the possible problems. The bottom of the cover almost looks like a printing flaw.

 

Those dots start on page 16 and go through the rest of the comic. What is that ? Printing flaw?

Hello welcome to the boards. This topic would be addressed better if you put it in "Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?

That being said, I have seen similar manufactory flaws with books I purchased in the Copper age. I am unsure how CGC would grade the flaw but that particular issue of Uncanny X-Men should definitely be sent in for grading.

Agree on both points:

1. Submit in the Hey buddy, can you spare a grade? for an idea of the grade

2. Send in to CGC for grading. I have a "lowly" 7.0 but even that is worth $$

“Worth it” different and subjective for everyone.  What is your preferred minimum return on investment? Dollars or percentage?

Yes that's from the newsprint "grabber" - see DiceX's thread in the grading and restoration forum for a fuller explanation. Generally, it won't impact the grade unless it's on the cover (which is a common occurrence in BA books.)

If you're a novice to CGC, you'll probably be disappointed. Put it up on feebay if you want to sell it, otherwise just keep it in a nice Mylar and enjoy it for the memories it brings you.

Not worth a grade by itself, too much postage costs, but if you had ten good comics to grade it could be included in that batch👍‼️😷

Unless… when you use a facilitator, do they typically send in large batches to save on shipping? Maybe that's the way to go? Or is it generally more expensive to go through a facilitator?
