Uncanny X-Men #392 - Published 28th March 2001 War brews for man and mutant alike. Its origin: Genosha! 9.2 Grade - Almost perfect, almost as new, with white or off-white pages. Tight, flat and clean with only extremely light wear around an edge or a staple. At first glance you might think it is Mint but a second, closer inspection may reveal a tiny imperfection. The pages should be uniform in colour with no discernible edge difference. No staple rust. Near Mint really does mean near to mint condition. For American comics, a discreet UK pence stamp is permissible. For British comics, a neat, newsagent name (ideally in pencil) written at the top is permissible.

X-Men Legacy #215 - Published 27th August 2008 Charles Xavier attempts to make peace with the X-Men who've been most important in his life. But starting with Scott Summers may have been a mistake - particularly when he decides to re-awaken some of Cyclops's worst nightmares against his will. 8.5 Grade - Very slight wear beginning to show around the staples and stress points owing to the comic being opened and read (carefully) two or three times and stored away with some care. For American comics, most of the cover lustre still remains and for British comics the cover should be flat, uniform creamy or off-white with only a few very minor stress creases at the spine. For American comics, only the tiniest spine wear at the top or bottom but no cover marks, no tears, no prominent creases (perhaps 2mm and quite hard to spot). The pages can be creamy or off-white but in no way yellowing and with no darker page edges. For Very Fine, think simply Very Sharp.

Alpha Flight #57 - Published 8th December 1987 Alpha and Beta Flight land on a planet to refuel the Box ship. The infighting between the team and Goblyn continues, then the scene shifts to the Liveworld where Goblyn has hidden Laura and Purple Girl. They then return to Alpha and Beta Flight. The Box ship begins to absorb the mass of the uninhabited planet for energy. The planet then comes to life. Goblyn subdues the planet.

There, the Dreamqueen has been menacing Laura Dean in an attempt to travel to Deadworld. 9.0 Grade - Very slight wear beginning to show around the staples and stress points owing to the comic being opened and read (carefully) two or three times and stored away with some care.

Alpha Flight #43 - Published 4th November 1986 Mesmero leads mutant hunting Sentinels across the Canadian border and no one is safe! 7.0 Grade - The basic minimum for most collectors but depends on your budget! This is a comic with wear showing on the edges or stress around the staples. Still clean and flat with a small mark or cover writing but I do mean small. Pages may be yellowing slightly but no brown edges. Above average, read a few times and stored away with at least some concern. A staple may be detached but, if that' the case, the rest of the comic should appear Very Fine. For British comics, a little more wear on the spine and cover is permissible and there may be some corner curl evident. British comics are all shapes and sizes so corners and edges suffer more. Again, think that this is a comic that has clearly been looked after in its history
