QUESTION WITH GRADE?

[scavas]

Hi, and thanks for looking at my post. I have been collecting comics for awhile now and was thinking aboutsubmitting some for grades. I have a comic X-Men 104 that is just about perfect full gloss no stress on the spine or other defects except in the upper right hand corner on the cover there is a small crease where it got folded over. It has been folded right and stored in a bag with backing board and has white pages, but you can see the line where it got folded. How much would this take the grade down? I think its worthy to get cgc'ed, but how far down will it be knocked? Thanks

Try scanning the book and posting it on our grading section. See what kind of response you get there. Be sure to scan the back cover also.

Welcome to the boards!

 

I'm sure your book is nice, but even a tiny crease would bring the book down to 9.0 or lower. I rather doubt it's worth the cost involved to get it slabbed.

Welcome! and yes, if you have a scanner pls post scans in the PGM forum. Does the crease break the colour? if it does it would probably be a 8.5 tops which wouldnt make sense to get graded. For a 104 i would think it should be a

solid 9.2 with a decent shot at 9.4 to make the CGC costs worthwhile. 8.5 doesnt bring a premium and the 40-60 dollars spend on grading would be lost.

 

If you want to sell it raw, pm me some scans im in the market for a 104 (if the crease doesnt break colour)

Depends on how large the crease is/was.. I had a Marvel Spotlight #5 graded that had a 1/32" bend on on of the corners and the book came back 9.2 ...when it comes to creases size does matter....
