Badlands Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Super nice front cover with minimal wear. Back cover cover has some foxing and a rusted staple (ugh). Off white pages.Thinking 3.0? Would it be worth it to get this book cleaned? Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadroch Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Invest in a loaf of Wonder Bread and see how much it cleans up the BC Badlands 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Thurgood Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) The color is great in the FC which looks like a 5.5 to 6. I have no suggestions about bread, other than high fibre is better for you.

Albert Thurgood Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I think he meant that you can scrunch the bread up, and roll it gently over the foxing to remove it. But I have not seen this done so you should get advice from someone who may have done it before. AFAIK, Wonder bread has previously only been recommended for picking up fragments of broken glass.

Who knew! I'm not a comic book cleaner, especially with bread, so I'll pass on that one lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old_Man_Adam Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) That book is valuable in any condition - if you can improve it , do it - I always get mine cleaned and pressed before slabbing ( granted they are worth a certain value ) - 2 key FA’s 3.5-4 Edited April 8, 2021 by Old_Man_Adam Badlands 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Nice eye appeal. The X-Men logo seems to have a dent or two, but the colors are terrific. I think it's probably closer to a 4.0 as is, maybe 4.5 if the back got cleaned a bit. Badlands 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Math Teacher Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 4.0 for me. I think the back would be helped by a cleaning. Badlands 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedcake Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 the lower staple looks very rusted, which would worry me that there might be water damage. I'm at GD/VG, give or take a half grade. It's a nice looking copy, GL with it Badlands 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
