PGM X-Men 101 1 1

Hello All! 

Already Pressed and ready to be sent in for the Claremont signing. I will also have ccs press after signing. Lower right on front cover what looks to be printing crease starting from edge going into cyclops mouth and  crease also on back cover as well in same position.  Foxing to back of cover looks more pronounced in color and worse in these pictures than it does in real life.

Any grading insight is appreciated and thank you for taking the time to look at my book.

I sent mine to the CC event last year & was pleasantly surprised with a 9.0. Is there a bindery tear at the top of the spine, or is that some artifact of the photo. Assuming a printer's crease 9.2±0.2

I wish it was a bindery tear. It looks a crunch to the top. Posting more pics here in natural light.

Here are some more pictures of book in natural light so you can see the spine ticks on spine and more imperfections to the book.

Thinking you would get around a 7.5

I’m at an 8.0. Thanks for posting.

As long as those aren't creases from handling, 8.0/8.5

8.5 but a higher grade wouldn't surprise me after you send it in for a signing and CCS press. That combination is like a GA bump.

Thanks for posting.

That is what I'm thinking 7.5 (I think mainly because the foxing has me a little nervous), but I'am hoping for 8.0 or higher

8.0-8.5 and I will be thrilled. I will post again when it comes back with the grade. Thank you so much!
