Grading opinions on X-Men 28?

[murph0]

It's still not white, it's probably cream. Tanning was a bad wording there.

I'd say they'll grade it a VF+.

Really? Wow. I think the 28 looks better than the VF+ 24 with the date stamp.

[murph0]

Well that's one book they graded that way. No 2 books are alike. However, again I'd probably call that VF+ a VF.

Of course no 2 books are exactly alike, but seeing as how CGC graded that # 24 as a VF+ with the butt ugly date stamp, visible spine breaks, weak lower right corner, "dirty" white logo, top edge wear, etc.... I figure the 28 is better. I guess we can agree to disagree & wait 'till the good Lord gets his comic back.

I tend to agree with Murph - I would say a 8.5

[COI]

I think your CGC 8.5 is more like an 8.0, and I'd give the one you just bought a 9.0.

Unfortunetly, Date stamps in the "x" seem pretty common.

 

Check out this POS of mine:

And I think you're a little too harsh on perimeter "dings". Check out the top and bottom-left corners on this CGC 9.2. The top left corner on this 9.2 are much worse than the top left on mine. Plus, this one hsa spine stresses.

 

[murph0]

I've seen it, and I've also seen 9.2's a lot nicer then that. It's just luck of the draw sometimes. But I still think it's an 8.5

Wow Andrew I hope CGC stays consistent with their 9.2s. If they do the X-Men #6 I just bought will likely get a 9.4

Hey AK, that ungraded 28 you have is actually pretty nice outside of the date stamp. What are you grading it at? And looking at the graded 28 you have, mine is just as nice. Not seeing where mine would be an 8.5 or even 9.0 and that one a 9.2. Of course I'm being biased but we'll see what CGC has to say in a couple of months.

I am still gonna stick with my 9.2. Nine Point Two!

[COI]

The graded 9.2 isn't my book, I was just using the pic as an example.

 

The raw copy is mine though, and I grade it at about 9.2. It's a shame the date stamp is where it is though. It's a great copy, with absolutely NO wear at the spine at all. The top left is the only real problem with it.

Which ever way it swings with grade its still a great looking book.......
