PGM X-men #266 1 1

[Bmattioli86]

Hello all,

this one I would like to send in to CGC just for personal reasons. I believe the seller had it at a 7.0. Notable issues that I can tell are:

-spine issues (color breaking ticks, damage by staple, what appears to be a slight spine roll)

-color rub of front cover (upper middle)

-slight veining to cover

-rip on top of splash page

-stain on back of book (upper middle)

thank you to all in advance for your advice on how to adequately grade this gem!

6.0

Would also like to know if this book would benefit from a c/p

more in the 6.0/6.5 camp & I'd lean lower b/c it comes from the eras where more books were taken care of. C/P might have some minor aesthetic improvements, but to be effective you either need visible surface soiling (don't see much here) and/or non-color breaking defects. All the little stress lines I see on the spine for example, are white. Pressing can't fix damaged paper or ink loss.

Thank you for that. I was going to sub this one to a presser I want to use, but I might just get it graded as is and see what happens.
