PGM Uncanny X-Men #108

From my personal collection. It looks pretty nice to me. What do you guys think? ck:

[B-Smooth]

Im going to be very generous and give it a 9.0 due to the crease in the upper right corner, some spine stresses on the front and back and is that just a light soil line on the bottom back or is that a crease? If its a crease then your looking at an 8.0.

[Timulty]

I would say at least 8.5.

[Tomega]

9.0 - too bad about the upper right corner.

[Kermit the frog]

any problems on the lower right FC corner?!

[B-Smooth]

GOOD EYE...that looks like another possible small crease. Suddenly, my 8.0 wouldnt be so off base if this is true.

[KingOfRulers]

I'd say an 8.0.

[Pirate]

thats not a crease on top of FC or bottom of BC, just a scratch on FC, no break inside the cover. (should have pointed that out before posting)

In this location, it really doesn't matter. Both still break color on the front cover, and are easily visible to the naked eye. You're gonna get knocked down either way.

i think a solid 8.0 , i love that book, i have two copies here's first page of my 9.0 ..i hope to meet Terry once in

my life ,

Looks like a 9.0 to me...

crease on URFC and wear on ULBC keep it out of 9.2 IMO...

[divad]

9.0 - too bad about the upper right corner.

 

Tom,

That's a 3/4" crease to the URFC . . . 9.0?

[divad]

7.5 Perhaps with a light cleaning of the BC, an 8.0 - Sorry but both opening corners are soft and creased; the LRFC actually has the same crease on the LLBC if you look closely

[october]

I would say 8.0, and like Diva said, I would consider a light cleaning.

[Pirate]

i'm not going to mess with the book as it will stay in my collection unless i get alot nicer one then someone else can clean it. thanks for the opinions on it. I will call it an 8.0

[Kermit the frog]

8.0 seems rather correct!

Another term ive heard used but have no idea about is "cleaning a book". I guess i have no idea how to press, wash, spin, rinse, and dry a comic. Does this make me naive or just a good person?

Probably both

 

btw, "cleaning" refers to none of the practices you mentioned.

Cleaning if really just (from my understanding) carefully detaching the cover from the book and immersing it in a chemical solvent (this can completely kill a book as well if done incorrectly).
