Opinions on the grade of this auction7472

Collector moodswing private msg quote post Address this user
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.

4.5 to 5.0 at best

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?

a 6.0 wouldn't be a stretch

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?

Looks like 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.

Yep, didn't see that. I would guess this is nowhere close to a 7.

Multiple 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

The ad is for Stridex. There is also a FF 61 reprint with the same ad on the back.

Besides the ad for Terminator 2 on the inside front cover and the ad for Wolverine on the back? Or am I not understanding the question?
