BigDaddy1 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) Back again, and hope you all are doing well! I bought a beat up copy of X-Men #12 at my LCS, and am thinking about getting it graded, mainly for my personal collection. The comic is clearly lower grade, though the cover is still attached at both staples, and the comic is complete. There are 2 pages that have tears on the right side. I don't believe a pressing will help this comic much, or at all. How would you grade this comic? Thank you in advance!

silversurfer275 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) 2.0 Edited September 30, 2020 by silversufer27 BigDaddy1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10centcomics Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I think 2.0 might be a little too harsh. The cover is attached; there aren't missing pieces from the cover; there doesn't appear to be any spine splits. Based on the spine wear, an accumulation of color breaking creases, and the interior page damage, I'd put this around 3.0 BigDaddy1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I agree with 3.0. Not a bad looking 'reader' though!! BigDaddy1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A press will only flatten the whole book but not mitigate the defects to any appreciable degree enough for any more than 3.0. BigDaddy1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

remzzed Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 i agree with @10centcomics . 3.0 lots of creases and tears, but no missing pieces except small piece on the inside page (2nd pic of inside pages). mysterymachine and BigDaddy1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDaddy1 Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 Not gonna lie I was thinking more like 2.0 or 2.5, I will be very happy if this comes back as a 3.0! I'm going to get the package ready with all the books I want to ship this week. Thank you all for the opinions and critique, I really appreciate it!

allthingskryptonite Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I also think it is a 3.0 I see that's the consensus grade. Good luck. BigDaddy1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
