If I could squeeze a 9.2 out of this book I'd be on... . It's signed by Byrne.

It might pull it with a perfect back cover but right now I'd still say the 8.5 to 9.0. It is hard to tell from scans, sometimes scans makes things look worse then they are. No offense to supa but I do not think this would ever pull a 9.4. Unfortunately, CGC is unduly hard on bronze age so do not get your hopes up for the 9.2 but you never know. It is definitely a plus with the signature, you may make up dollars on the signature alone.

Good luck.

I'll second that.

As others have said it depends on how bad that bottom left corner is, it looks pretty blunted.

Are you talking about me, or Bugaboo?

 

Oops, substitute "me" for "the bottom left corner"

[ninanina]

I am thinking 8.5 at best. Surprised nobody's mentioned the edge wear along the top. I count several "dings".

 

Uh oh, I said "dings".

Good eye. The bottom left corner is the "major" flaw. The "dings" across the top are the "secondary" flaws. And the rounded top right corner could be considered the "minor" flaw.

9.0

This was my first issue of X-Men! I love that book, I can still see Piotr ripping out the tree stump on the opening page! Your copy is beautiful. NM (based on what we can see).

[awe4one]

I'd give a 8.5 as well. And if it's signed, that'll drop it lower unless you can confirm the signature (not questioning the fact but that is what "me" as a buyer would consider).

My copy graded at 9.0 (0106323012) and it look pretty much the same except I don't have a ding in the lower left corner. 8.5?
