1975 Giant-Size X-Men #1 1 1

[Devonna]

There is a little fraying on the LLFC corner.  On the BC there are 3 small "nicks" on the edge and a tiny crease on the binding edge. Not sure if the cover was replaced on this one or if this is how the giant size was done. Inside there is age related yellowing and some smudging(?).  Only the first page has some nicks on the bottom edge. No other issues.

Crunched lower left corner, minor spine wear with a few color breaking spine ticks/stress lines, minor soiling/staining/discoloration of front cover, small area of color loss between the spine and Nightcrawler, cover wrap not centered, small tears/pieces missing along outer edge of rear cover, what appears to be a crease/tear by spine on rear cover, minor staining/soiling/discoloration along spine of rear cover, pages appear to be Tan to Brown.

IMO, FN+ 6.5  The soiling/discoloration of both covers prevent this book from grading higher. 

7.0 FINE/VERY FINE (FN/VF):  Back to Top
An above-average copy that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with outstanding eye appeal. A small accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor cover wear beginning to show, possibly including minor creases. Corners may be blunted. Inks are generally bright with a moderate reduction in reflectivity. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. Minor foxing. The slightest spine roll may be present, as well as a possible moderate color break. Staples may show some discoloration. Slight staple tears and a small accumulation of light stress lines may be present. Slight rust migration. Paper is cream to tan. Centerfold is mostly secure. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present.

6.5 FINE+ (FN+):  Back to Top
Fits the criteria for Fine but with an additional virtue or small accumulation of virtues that improves the book's appearance by a perceptible amount.

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

not sure I can make as assessment, but there are certainly copies of this floating around with repro covers. I'd have an expert examine in-hand if you're suspicious. A good repro can even fool amateur experts. Otherwise, I can see this getting to 7.0 or a grade higher in the right hands.

[Q.N.S.]

I was also seeing 6.5. You should put some guarding paper between the inside cover and the first page so that staple 
doesn't make the puncture bigger. See the hole on the last image
