I know it is tough to determine a grade from 2 pictures but I was wondering what the forum would think the grade of the following X-Men comic would be. https://www.ebay.com/itm/X-Men-60-FN-VF-7-0-1-Book-Lot-1969-Marvel-1st-Sauron-Havock-Neal-Adams/192664808884?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 |

Lol, I would be leary of anyone who said they shipped in a flat rate envelope and then claimed it was "bomb proof" because they used "crease free cardboard". | ||

Pictures? We don't need no stinking pictures. | brysb private msg quote post Address this user | |
It has nice eye appeal despite the spine creases, maybe a 5.5? | ||

I would say 5.5-6.0....seller listing it as 7.0 might be a tad generous. Is that a water stain at the bottom left of cover or a crease? |

Although that looks like an original, I will toss it out there that there's a 90's reprint of this that looks exactly like the original. | ||

I believe the reprint has a VHS ad on the back... | ||

I bought a graded comic from the seller and was just looking to add another comic to save on shipping. The 1st appearance of Sauron caught my eye. Figured his grading was generous. | ||

I believe y'all are missing the vertical tear/scratch on the cover itself. It is dead-center, near the bottom. Almost looks like part of the art, but it's not. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by moodswingMultiple spine ticks, one longish spine crease, cover creasing, abraded edge with clear lateral crease at bottom, cover has noticeable removed/torn strip directly affecting the art ~ based on front cover only: probably a 5.0 ( 6.0 CGC , 8.5 PGX ) |

I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for. | drchaos private msg quote post Address this user | |
