Ok so I guess poor Captain gets a poor. Into the practice restore box he goes. So how about X-men # 100 in VF-

| I think I undergraded this one. The main thing it suffers from is an impact dent on the top corner that is apparent in th back cover(NCB) and a couple of spine nicks. Nice copy with blazing white pages and sharp corners. Never pressed a book, this would be a good canidate. edit: on the back cover it looks like something funky is going on at the bottom edge. Nothing shows up in hand, scanner strangeness...

Too much going on there to be a VF in my book. Front bottom left corner looks rounded . That back looks mangled. Pressing might fix it and I would be happy to press it for you for free.  For now I give it a 6.5. If back was perfect then I think it would be a 8.5 maybe 9.0 ?

I think 6.5 is a bit low, sure the scrunching drops it out of the 8's but I think it looks about a 7.5. It doesn't show any discoloration, front still presents very well (except upper left corner), no folds, no stress lines on the spine, still a very nice copy.
.I wont lie, shinedown's version is good, but Lynyrd Skynyrd's is what Jesus, Chuck Norris, Chesty Puller, Ronald Reagan, and my Father listen to every morning when they wake up. -'bobthebanshee' on Skynard's 'Simple Man' (an all-time favorite)

Where was that generosity for my poor marvel 2.0

I don't think Slay was being generous or not. Find me a 6.5 that looks like that and I'll buy it in a heartbeat.

Where was that generosity for my poor marvel 2.0 lol, you know that CM was a train-wreck, M-CPU! It has more wrinkles than my grandma and the covers disconnected... which by itself practically shoots it down to a 2.0!

| In agreement with the 1.0 on the Captain marvel and a 7.0 - 7.5 sems right on the X-men. Next up: Boboset selects from SpeedyD
Speedy hasn't logged in a couple of weeks so I'm not sure what is up but we can move on if he doesn't respond in a day or so. I'll post a random comic tonight when I get home to keep us occupied.
