The grade is in. New Mutants #98 2 2

[Count Slabula]

Just not sure about this one . The more I look at it the less inclined I am to send it in for grading.

But it is a newsstand and is for my own collection.

Thanks again.

4.5/5.0. Another tweener IMO. FMV around $300. Historical census data doesn't differentiate between newsstand/direct, but there there are nearly 25K graded copies & this would land in the bottom 10%. If I care about a book for my PC & the price isn't prohibitive, I'd buy a higher grade copy slabbed or not and try to sell this as-is. I'm good and part 1 of this plan, terrible at part 2, so I have numerous key comics in mid-grade condition just sitting around.

Thanks again.It is for my own collection and it was a bargain when I bought it so maybe I’ll go for it.

I'm at a 4.5-5.0 here too.

I've been sending in books lately that are for my PC. They're not the highest grade books but I've had some of them for over 30yrs so it's worth it to me.

Comparing this to my other 5.0’s I have, it’s very very similar in condition. So I’ll say 5.0, but could be a 4.5 if you get a grader who’s not in a great mood that day 😆

5.0

Thanks for posting.

[1950's war comics]

still worth grading and i think its a 5.5

[LowGradeBronze]

I'm struggling to see 6.0 here and 5.0 to a possible 5.5 more likely.

[Nschenks]

5.5 is probably the ceiling for this one

Finally got round to getting this graded.

 

That will do nicely thank you very much.
