Reaching out for some help grading an X-men 101 that I recently picked up on eBay. I'm attaching the pics below. The book presents well and doesn't appear to have ever been pressed. The book is a Mark Jewelers variant which was a happy surprise since it wasn't advertised as such. The only 2 major issues are some noticeable color bleeding through to the front and back covers from the interior pages. I've been told that this is pretty common on books of this vintage but its the first time that I've seen it. The other (bigger) flaw is a less than half inch tear along the outer edge of the back cover and the last 4 interior pages.... The tear is clean and difficult to see with the book closed but its there. Any ideas what this might grade out to with a press? Thank you in advance for the collective wisdom.          |

 How do I know this? Because I've done it myself.

| My gut instinct was maybe too harsh compared to others because of the tear, because I was thinking 6.0/6.5. Regardless, it's a great book, definitely worth getting slabbed imo. | ||

 I don't believe this....and I know you don't care that I don't believe this.
