PGM House of X 1:50 Rogue/Gambit 0

Hi everyone,

I'm back with a different house of x copy   This is probably my favorite cover minus all the beautiful connecting covers. Any recommendations on this one like a cleaning or a press ?

Could be a 9.8 candidate.  Only possible problem I see is in the 9th picture from the top.  This could be the glare but I can't tell if there's something going on with the back cover just above the top staple.

I believe that is the glare. If it wasn’t would a pressing help that ?

Depends. If it breaks color, your chances of 9.8 are probably gone. Pressing would reduce the overall size of the flaw, but the color break would still be there. Could drop you to a 9.4/9.6.

So im probably better off just letting it stay as is then ?

I'd still press to reduce the over defect. Could change the grade slightly.

When I take a closer look I don’t actually see the defect. I think it was just the light.

Excellent. I'm thinking you may get a 9.8...unless there's something now shown in the pictures.

Looks like a 9.8 to me.
