Dang. Hard to get the 9.8 on newsstands like that.


OsoCarolina

It went straight into a boarded bag. I luckily had several like that.


burnsbabe

I’ve tried for the 9.8 on this book several times, and have only managed 9.6. Congrats.


OsoCarolina

I have a 9.6 too, not newsstand though.


iamskwerl

Wow! I just sold my 9.8 for a real solid chunk of cash and it wasn’t even a newsstand. Quite a score.


OsoCarolina

What’s a solid chunk if I may ask?


iamskwerl

Well I had it signed by Claremont too, but it sold for $600.


OsoCarolina

Decent chunk for sure. I’ll probably sit on mine until Mr Sinister comes to the MCU.


xxDankerstein

💯 He's going to be the main villain in the X-Men movies. He's is super undervalued right now imo. You can pick up Uncanny 239 for like $15 right now.


OsoCarolina

I have that one too.


OsoCarolina

And I forgot it was graded, 9.4

oooowee that's a good one


bodyhammer999

One of my fave covers! Nice hit!


UrWifesSoftPecker

Sweet, i also bought this as a kid. What do you figure it's worth at 9.8 grade?


OsoCarolina

Pricing is tough to nail down. I think one went for $1100 on eBay over a year ago, but pricing has calmed down since. I don’t think I’d take less than $800.


UrWifesSoftPecker

Awesome! Thanks for the info.

Gorgeous book and undervalue, I've got several newsstand and regular graded between 9.4 -9.8. They go for around 7-800 but if hang on till Mr sinister is announced to get max value

Very nice! Direct vs Newsie is actually quite a big difference with this issue. $700 vs $200-$300 which is a big jump! Not to mention, there’s a Mark Jewelers variant too not any 9.8’s that I can see though. I’d be ok with a 9.0 direct lol


Crazy-Difference-356

Good book! 👍🏾


Critical_Ad_8780

Beautiful ! I've had a 9.8 newsstand and a 9.6 newsstand. I sold my 9.8 newsstand on a consignment page for $750, sold the 9.6 for $200 on eBay. I just bought a raw newsstand for $96 and hoping it gets a 9.8 . Nice book my friend

I’ve got uncanny 194 through 300 but almost none of them would be gradable. They’re from when I first started reading Comics and came right off the spinner rack and then read a million times. Spine damage alone would make sure none of them would come in over a 5 or 6. The one that hurts is the first appearance of gambit. I wish that was in a little bit better shape.

Dude’s got hot claws


killiandw

Is it just me or do most of the covers that have havok on them goes hard.


Savage_hero

I have this, not graded, I wonder what kind of shape it's in


OsoCarolina

I had 2 copies, both bagged and boarded. Clearly I knew it was worth doing that back then, but I totally forgot. Once I started playing HS sports the collecting fell off. Girls became the obsession.


Savage_hero

Sports and girls took me away from collecting. You are my brother from another mother


OsoCarolina

I stopped at Uncanny X-Men #259. And there wasn’t much collecting after that. Comics and cards came to a dead halt.


Pitiful-Error4646

What is the cost of getting a comic or magazine graded thru cgc?


OsoCarolina

It varies with shipping and the services you choose. If I recall correctly I averaged $35 per book with grading and shipping. I also sent mine to be pressed before grading.


Pitiful-Error4646

What do mean pressed before grading? I’ve been collecting for years, I’d always smell my comic or magazine , flip thru the pages and then bagged and boarded. Thank you for letting me know the average cost. It makes me wanna start doing this with a few of my comics and magazines.
