ULTRA-HIGH GRADE X-MEN #458! This super-bright and glossy modern-age issue was strictly graded by CGC and boasts phenomenal eye appeal. BID AGGRESSIVELY, AS THIS DARK COVER IS TOUGH TO FIND IN MINT SHAPE. IMMACULATE CONDITION: If you too are extra picky, and want copies that are not only well preserved and of exceptional structural quality, but also look like they were printed JUST RIGHT with perfect framing and deep color strike with accurate registration and sharp corners, and lacking any date notations or markings or flaws from the distribution process, then you crave books of this caliber and you already know how seldom these opportunities arise. These come from a cool dry dark non-smoking environment. STUNNING COVER, SHOWING NIGHTCRAWLER AND KAZAR, ALONG WITH HIS SABRETOOTH TIGER, ZABU, ALONG WITH OTHER POPULAR MUTANTS! THE COMIC STARS TOP MUTANTS, PLUS IT HAS A BRAINCHILD APPEARANCE! This hot mutant comic-book is well known to fans and dealers alike as an early new-team issue featuring the ever-popular mutants by the talented creative team of Chris Claremont with art by modern-age talent Alan Davis! The dark background of the cover provides great contrasts and is a treat to behold when it's unblemished by such pesky detractors as creases & spine-stresses. The Uncanny X-Men are already a household name around the globe, thanks in part to the smash-hit films and record-setting DVD sales and all the toys and videogames and statues and animation and action-figures and clothing and plethora of other licensed merchandise. Wolverine and the X-Men are in yet another big-budget film, dominating theaters around the globe in recent months and now selling well via DVD, bringing the love of the franchise to still more fans around the world... It doesn't get any more "Blue Chip" than this! This incredible original first-print comic-book WILL find a new home, as the Buy It Now price is LOW and t is NO RESERVE! ALWAYS HOT, CGC 9.8 SPECIMENS OF THIS IMPORTANT ANNIVERSARY ISSUE X COMIC ARE NOT ALWAYS EASY TO OBTAIN! This historic comic is a real find in unrestored NM+ or better shape, as most copies had minute production flaws such as printing creases or slight color transfer, while others were read and re-read, time and time again, and against the backdrop of the glossy dark grey and black cover even the mildest soiling or tiniest scuffs or flaws seem magnified. However, this copy is spectacular, as it's super-clean and t is no noteworthy wear or aging, and it has precise printing registration. And the gloss is excellent, too! This crushes most of the so-called "Mint" old comics I purchased over the decades back in the pre-CGC era. Good luck finding this level of eye appeal again in the future, as this beauty boasts deep rich uniform colors and a flat clean appearance, devoid of common problems such as print-creases and miscuts and corner dings, and the unusually precise centering and sharp back cover just adds to the allure. The lines, scuffs, and hazy areas you see below are from the scanner glass, not the slab or comic, plus t are refections and glare, all of which is not evident when viewing the actual book in person. (Our scanner makes it appear that t's vertical lines running up through the right half of the item, but t are no such lines and no scratches on the CGC holder, either.) We are also now auctioning other great CGC X-MEN comics, plus rare comic art; And we'll be offering hundreds of other collector comics in the next few months. Check out our ebay items regularly! A lot has happened with Marvel comics in the past five years since this gem came out, adding more allure to the back-issues such as this; so I don't suggest waiting around until these crucial books have gone through the roof.... Ultra-high-grade specimens of this early issue are always in demand, but are not always available in the market, especially in such well-preserved condition with incredible luster and great centering like this! This is a beauty that you can show and display proudly, without wor... read more
