calicomic Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Hey Everyone, I Have a old X-men 1 graded book. This book was graded in 2002 and never been pressed. I am thinking of getting it pressed and resubmitted. I been to told by one person that he thinks it's already over graded and not worth it. I have a different opinion and think the book is already undegraded . I love to get peoples opinions of the grade before announcing what it was graded at. This is a good test to see what you think vs 2002 CGC. In the process of getting a new scanner and high resolution photos will have to do. Graded Notes in the photo down below.

Lninefingers Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Looks 5.5ish to me, but I'm not very confident in that because I can't see the "whole book lite crease" or "whole book bend". Can you see a subscription crease? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you see a subscription crease? Honestly this is the best I can find. I don't see a whole book bend . But maybe that's because its been in a holder for 20 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lninefingers Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 That line and the wrinkles on the back lower right hand corner make me think that maybe this book has been pressed, but maybe not using modern methods. We're definitely straying outside of my comfort zone though, so you may want to ignore everything I've said and wait for one of the resident experts to weigh in. calicomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttock Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Looks right in the 6.0 range. If you can get the wear on the lower back spine cleaned up, it has good potential for an upgrade, but I don't think any of that is going to go away completely. You can probably lessen it, but not eliminate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calidream'n Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 If it is currently graded better than a 6.0, I would say don’t touch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travizb Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Unless this is graded at 6.5+ then I would go for it. It could use a good cleaning and pressing. Beautiful copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
