Dust Shadowed Uncanny X-Men #289 1 1

[SargenticusV]

Hey gang.  Really just wondering what a quite prominent and defined dust shadow, front & back, does to a grade for an otherwise fairly pristine book (a few really minor non-color-breaking spine ticks).

On this particular book?  It makes it a dollar bin book.

In general, not sure what the highest grade a book can get with a dust shadow is.

According to the CGC guide, they have 8.0 as the low end of the range for a book with just a shadow as a defect. 7.5/8.0 seems fair to me for the shadow plus spine stress. It is true that most collectors wouldn't bother with a book like this since you can pick up a high grade copy for $10 or less

8.0

Thanks for posting.
