PGM Giant-Size X-Men 1 4 4

[ConcreteMob181]

Overspray on top of front cover (and a tiny bit on the back) and first page, creasing in top left quadrant of front cover, minor chipping on bottom front cover, and three small tears on the top, bottom, and left of back cover. The top and left look like bindery/machine tears. The bottom tear is 1/4 inch. The thing that looks like a “tear” on the spine side of the back cover is actually a crease. Thanks in advance!

6.0 as is.

4.5 with the back tear,  looks to be about and inch and also a small front bottom tear.

Thanks. But the back tear on the spine isn’t actually a tear, it’s a crease. The bottom tear is 1/4 inch. The chipping tears are smaler.

Thanks. Do you think pressing would make a difference?

I don't think it will make much difference but given the dollar value of this book, it would be best to press it. couldn't hurt really.

it's actually a pretty nice book but on a technical side, you have several major defects like tears, the yellow stain on the top front and the writing on the back.

Thanks. I figured the stain was overspray from either the printer or the distributor but wasn’t sure. I honestly had no idea how to grade this one.

5.5 + C&P = 6.0

Seriously though...

Thanks for posting.

Ok, 5.5 and a clean and press on the top and bottom areas of the back can get me to 6.5 probably.

Clean/press to 6.0…potential 6.5.
