What are the odds this book is...?

[LordRahl]

...really unrestored?

X-Men 94 PGX 9.8

 

Anyone know if this was ever sold by Leder or D. Hooker?

[djpinkpanther67]

I don't know, but by their calculations they want over $8,000 for that book ...too rich for my blood!

A better question might be "what are the odds the book is a 9.8?" Seems like plenty o' flaws are visible.....,

[LordRahl]

Their grading on high grade books is pretty tight from my experience and that scan is too small to really see much of anything. However, I'd bet that either Leder or someone affiliated with him submitted that book which means it's likely restored. Just wondering if anyone remembered Leder selling a 9.8 of this book.

OT: I just realized there was a fellow Sword of Truth fan on the boards. Nice name!

[LordRahl]

Can't wait for the final book.

Can't wait for the final book.

 

Loved the first few...real quality stuff...but he lost me when he started getting obviously political.

I would love to see this book in person. For that kind of money and with the value being so dependent on the grade, it would be hard for anyone to pull the trigger based on that front cover scan only.

 

If the seller reads these Boards, please contact me.

I'll bet a gazillion dollars that you're right about that.

Steve, if you get a 9.8 you know where that 9.6 is going Time payments and trade

Don't take this the wrong way, but only a fool would buy a PGX graded 9.8 that wasn't a modern. Especially this particular book, which, along with early Disney books, has tended to be Terrance Leder's specialty.

How could I take that wrong

 

I appreciate the advice and the spirit in which it was given. But, I would still love to see the book in person.

 

And, yes MK. If I ever get a 9.8, you have first dibs on my 9.6

[LordRahl]

Even seeing the book in person, I'd be very wary. The 2 restored books I bought off of Leder that were in PGX universal slabs were not very obvious. Trimming would be hard to spot through a slab. I recall a very high grade X-Men 94 being sold by either Leder or Hooker on ebay but I thought it was only a 9.6. Don't know if it's the same book.

I may be a late addition if I can make the con. Dependent on work at the moment. Forum dinner would be fun though.

I have to give the restaurant a final headcount by Feb. 28. Could you let me know by then? It would be great if you could make it.

Will do.

I don't know it looks pretty nice aside from a small bindery defect on the bottom corner and maybe one small spine tick but I can't tell if its just a bad scan or on the slabb?

I would like to see if that is a spine stress next to Nefaria's ear. And I'd like to see that bottom left corner. Hard to tell in a scan

 

And, if the book was ever owned by Lederer, I would pass on it.
