GRADE IS IN: PGM X-men 141 (days of future past) newstand edition - (store stamps edition, another first for me) 3 3

[Geoff2099]

Pretty fun find at a recent comic convention - x-men 141 newstand edition. Front cover has many spine ticks, and a gnarly little fold in the bottom right but overall for newstand 1980, not too shabby. Backcover is pretty dirty but I think it'll clean up nicely, a bend in top right corner, and spine ticks down the side. But my big question - what's the impact from the *store* stamp. I knew that date stamps don't negatively impact grade much, but I'm really not sure about store stamps. On the plus side it's a neat stamp, on the back cover, in the bottom. But I don't think store stamps are looked kindly by CGC.But I have a feeling that store stamp is gonna crush it, hoping I'm wrong.

I'll give it a 5.5 With a C&P could be a 6.5

I've seen far worse 6.0s than this so I would say you'll squeak a 6.0 As for the store stamp, it really won't hurt the grade. It's relevant to its retail origin. Nice find.

6.5 is possible..small stamp..no big deal.

6.5

Stamp won't matter in this grade range. It's small. It's neat. It's on the back cover. I think it might only effect the grade were this book a 9.2 or better. 

Thanks for posting.

Bingo!!!

6.0 (FN)

The former owner (Emily) stamped address has no bearing on the grade. In fact, for me, it enhances it's desirability (like a full date stamp).
