scburdet Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) Kicking the tires of a few of my 2nd tier Claremont books in case there are signature candidates (to help avoid the stained Iron Fist 14 fiasco of '22). Some of the other key X-Mens didn't make it through pre=screen, but this one looks pretty good. Noticed my back cover photo as a small "finger shadow" on the BRBC, which is not on the book, just bad photography. Thanks in advance for your help Edited June 29, 2023 by scburdet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1950's war comics Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 8.0 likely give or take a grade scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars76 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) I'm changing my grade to 9.4. The main flaws that I see are the small bindery tears and what looks to be a small color breaking crease above the bottom bindery tear.

Nschenks Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 +/- 9.4 with press for me. Bindery tears look pretty small, which will prob be fine for that grade based on what I've seen on other CGC books scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted May 1, 2023 Author Share Posted May 1, 2023 Bailed on the CC signing on this one, but it was immediately snagged out of the box by my presser Friday. He got my comparable XM129 to 9.6, so we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morbius21 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 9.4. Kind of a dark colored busy cover to get signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally prefer the signer to be good a picking spots, but I'll take a CC signature over the title over a Stan Lee signing over the most important art any day of the week.

scburdet Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 Most of us were to high on this one. I though for sure this would be at least a 9.0, and probably better grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
