Brendan H Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) I recently pulled out my x-men that I assembled as a kid. My thought was to get some of them pressed/graded by CGC to know value and protect them. Any thoughts on this, and would it benefit from a press? I included the pic of the lower part of the center to show some damage there on the bottom of the pages. It's almost as though something sharp got pressed in there. The damage seems greatest toward the middle but exists less and less as you get further from center - goes from about page 7 to 17. Thanks for your ideas.

Nice pictures, nice book! 7.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicginger1789 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I was thinking 8.0-8.5 before scrolling. Glad the pen did not hit it that hard, great copy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Thurgood Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 +1. I was also thinking it was easily 8 or above. It is always hard to judge from these pics how much above 8 books should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
