X-Men 101 UK edition 0

[Drbearsec]

Got fantastic news today...my copy of X-Men 101 UK edition came back as a 9.6!  One of only 2 on the census (no 9.8s) and only SS series (got it signed by Claremont).   Pics to follow.

Congrats! You could probably also post in highest graded Sig thread in signature forum

But that is cool!

That’s fair.  Was just surprised it came back that way.  Ironically the US version I expected to come back a 9.4 or 9.6 only came back a 9.2. Not sure what I missed on it with my own grading but it’s what it is.  

 

Havent  decided if I’m keeping the UK for PC or selling yet

 i only mention the SS thread because it is so rare that anyone has one

But I definitely say that is cool! Were you the original owner?

Bought the raw copy off of eBay but it had never been slabbed or signed.  I actually didn’t realize it was a UK version when I bought it.... was focusing on the pictures and the condition that I missed it.  But the condition looked good, I got it for $400 and I had another x-men 101 I was getting signed and graded that I figured I’d keep one and sell the other.

Some UK comics are easy to find on the census, like your Xmen 101. Others , I can't figure out how to look them up, like this one https://www.ebay.com/itm/162962549942?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2648

Yes, he's a nice guy.

Yeah, they normally have the pence listed below the cents, for example when I looked at the census for issue 50, they had the pence ones listed below the cents ones.

Nothing for this 32 though.
