PGM X-Men 58 2 2

[Cerebus3000]

Hello all, I am trying to take advantage of the vintage 15+ book sale and use my account credit that expires soon. They're all packaged up now, so at this point it is "play along at home". I will post the results as soon as I get them back. Due to shortness of time I will be using CGC for C&P.

Top right corner has a kind of a hole/rip...sort of a tiny "hanging chad" thing going on.  The three biggest creases (one on front and two on back) are all printer's creases.

Moderately blunted corners with color breaking creases and color loss, small piece missing/tape pull/color loss at top right corner, moderate edge wear with color loss and color breaking creases, minor to moderate spine stress with color breaking stress lines and small tears, long color breaking crease from outer edge, slight spine roll, some tanning in the price box, minor to moderate foxing/staining/discoloration on rear cover (Foxing cannot be removed since it is biological in nature), the printer creases should have no affect on the grade.

IMO, as is...VG/FN 5.0 to FN- 5.5

 

6.0 FINE (FN):  Back to Top
An above-average copy that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with no significant creasing or other serious defects. Some accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor cover wear apparent, with minor to moderate creases. Inks show a significant reduction in reflectivity. Blunted corners are more common, as is minor staining, soiling, discoloration, and/or foxing. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. A minor spine roll is allowed. There can also be a 1/4" spine split or severe color break. Staples may show minor discoloration. Minor staple tears and a few slight stress lines may be present, as well as minor rust migration. Paper is tan to brown and fairly supple with no signs of brittleness. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present. Centerfold may be loose.

5.5 FINE- (FN-):  Back to Top
Fits the criteria for Fine but with an additional defect or small accumulation of defects that detracts from the book's appearance by a perceptible amount.

5.0 VERY GOOD/FINE (VG/FN):  Back to Top
An above-average but well used comic book. An accumulation of bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor to moderate cover wear apparent, with minor to moderate creases and/or dimples. Inks have moderate to low reflectivity. Blunted corners are increasingly common, as is minor to moderate staining, discoloration, and/or foxing. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. A minor to moderate spine roll is allowed. A spine split of up to 1/2" may be present. Staples may show minor discoloration. Minor staple tears and minor stress lines may also be present, as well as minor rust migration. Paper is tan to brown with no signs of brittleness. Centerfold may be loose. Minor interior tears may also be present.

6.5 IMHO As far as printer creases go according to CGC, these do not have effect on the grade up to 9.8 unless the crease(s) are obvopus and distracting to the overall eye appeal of the book.

Thanks for posting!

5.0 to 5.5. I thought I had better than a 9.2 when I submitted mine years ago and it came back 9.0.
