[GRADE IS IN] PGM Fantastic Four 149 (Mark Jewelers) 2 2

[Engr62]

If this had a chance at 9.8, I'd probably send it to be graded.  But there is a faint "finger bend" to the left of Namor's head that can barely be seen when angling the book to the light just right.  I don't think I'd chance a press on this book to get rid of it.  Thanks for looking.  I'm not sure what's going on with the back cover scan.

I certainly don't see the bend, nor any other defects (≥9.4). If it was mine, I would be tempted to roll the dice just b/c it is so nice and a MJs. Not a key issue, but it does seem like MJs, especially higher grades get a bump in selling price even if they're not in the highest possible grade. I'd also be tempted to do a sign and grade with Gerry Conway. That's probably a break even proposition in terms of investment, but it wouldn't surprise me if a signed slabbed MJs at this grade is a one-of-a-kind comic. I find that kind of thing intriguing.
