Uncanny X-Men 141 x2; Which is the best?

[Mr. Spider-Woman]

I managed to snag some cheap copies of Uncanny X-Men 141 & 142 (sadly, I mistakenly purchased three 141s and one 142). It was a horrible transaction, with the seller taking weeks to get me the final total and weeks to get me the books, never once responding to my e-mails and sending me very unhelpful messages. But I digress.

 

I was actually surprised by the condition of two of the 141s, they were in good shape considering the price. One even had a $35 price tag on it. The other 141 is not so nice (some nasty spine roll) and the 142 is in rough shape. I am having a hard time deciding which of the two nice 141s is the better copy, so I am turning to you all:

 

Copy 1:

 

Copy 2:

Copy 2 is a bit nicer but both are not high grade moderns. They are $6 to $10 books.

2 is a 7.0/7.5 and 1 is a ~5.0 so I would definitely go with 2.

Definately your second copy is nicer then your first.
