PGM Uncanny X-men #12 1 1

[dark_knight_]

Hi All,

I have never had a comic graded before but have got my hands on some old and slightly more important comics for the first time.

Not sure if this is worth grading or not due to the condition/tape marks.

I would get it pressed and cleaned if that would be deemed helpful.

 

Thanks

Since there are not any pics of the insides, nor any mention of the cover being loose/detached at one staple or completely detached I have to assume...

Weather it is worth having graded, I do not have my books graded or cleaned/pressed. I do not know that a clean and press would help much in this instance since it will do nothing about the multiple color breaking creases and other defects that put this book in a low grade, can a press help with the moderate spine roll or is this book beyond this?

If you plan to sell the book, grading is probably worthwhile, if it is for your personal collection, a Mylite w/Acid Free Board provides the same protection as a CGC slab.

FMV based on eBay sold auctions for a raw X-Men 12 in GD/VG 3.0 is $250.00 as of June 2024, a CGC GD 2.0 sold for $270.00 in August 2024, IMO, you are closer to GD 2.0 than GD/VG 3.0.

IMO...GD 2.0 to GD/VG 3.0.

3.0 GOOD/VERY GOOD (GD/VG):  Back to Top
A used comic book showing some substantial wear. Cover shows significant wear, and may be loose or even detached at one staple. Cover reflectivity is very low. Can have a book-length crease and/or dimples. Corners may be blunted or even rounded. Discoloration, fading, foxing, and even minor to moderate soiling is allowed. A triangle from 1/4" to 1/2" can be missing out of the corner or edge; a missing 1/8" to 1/4" square is also acceptable. Tape and other amateur repair may be present. Moderate spine roll likely. May have a spine split of anywhere from 1" to 1-1/2". Staples may be rusted or replaced. Minor to moderate staple tears and moderate stress lines may be present, as well as some rust migration. Paper is brown but not brittle. Centerfold may be loose or detached at one staple. Minor to moderate interior tears may be present.

2.0 GOOD (GD):  Back to Top
Shows substantial wear; often considered a "reading copy." Cover shows significant wear and may even be detached. Cover reflectivity is low and in some cases completely absent. Book-length creases and dimples may be present. Rounded corners are more common. Moderate soiling, staining, discoloration and foxing may be present. The largest piece allowed missing from the front or back cover is usually a 1/2" triangle or a 1/4" square, although some Silver Age books such as 1960s Marvels have had the price corner box clipped from the top left front cover and may be considered Good if they would otherwise have graded higher. Tape and other forms of amateur repair are common in Silver Age and older books. Spine roll is likely. May have up to a 2" spine split. Staples may be degraded, replaced or missing. Moderate staple tears and stress lines may be present, as well as rust migration. Paper is brown but not brittle. Centerfold may be loose or detached. Moderate interior tears may be present.

Fair/Good condition.  The back cover looks nice compared to the front.
