Running it through the grading tool nets me a firm 6.5, but feel as though a 7.0 May be closer to how this comic presents. It is complete, with off white pages. Internal pages are uncreased and flat, although there is oddly only the lower staple with no signs of upper staple (likely a printing error). Picked this up in Australia for a song, and am over the moon! i've mylared and hard cased it in one of these bad boys (https://www.ultrapro.com/product_info.php?products_id=4271) . Im curious to know what more seasoned graders think! Thanks for listening. All opinions welcome! And hi fellow lovers of all things comic! Pics are here, cheers! https://www.flickr.com/gp/166632244@N05/hSmP07 Last edited December 11, 2018 7:16:28 am

I was going with a 6.5, mainly do to the color breaking spine creases and that bottom left, front corner. The interior is SOOO nice. I think that edges it toward a 7.0, but being conservative, I will stick with the 6.5 in my viewing. Click Here To See The 2Believers! Store!

smegg Collector in Training Location: Australia Posts: 20 My Collection	Posted: December 11, 2018 6:08:49 pm Thanks for the comments! I think 6.5 is fair, and I’m really pleased with the overall cleanliness and it’s clear that someone loved this and took care of it for many years. I collect things that I like rather than speculating which seems de rigeur these days (except here!) and am over the moon to get this book to expand my x men collection!
