This item is a the X-Men #4 CGC 5.0 (1st Appearance of Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Toad, & the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants; 2nd Appearance of Magneto) with White Pages. The item in the pictures is the exact item you will receive at purchase. The Slab : This is a newer CGC slab and is in excellent condition with only minor scuffing & scratching. The case looks excellent and is clear and clean, is free of cracks and chips, and is an excellent display piece. The Book : This is a solid looking book given its age and importance. The book has mostly bright colors, is slightly off-centered, with softened corners. There are some color-breaking spine ticks visible and staining on the white area of the front cover. There is edgewear and some color rub on the front as well. The back of the book has yellowed and has some additional spots of staining and creasing with light oxidation and wear at the staples. This book is as you would expect for a CGC 5.0 grade. Shipping : The item will be carefully packaged to ensure safe delivery. As a collector, I will package the item as I would like to receive it to protect the slab and to minimize the movement of the book in transit. I will ship with USPS unless otherwise requested. All single raw issues are shipped in a Gemini mailer with an additional cardboard support to keep the book flat and protected in transit. All slabs are shipped double-boxed with multiple layers of bubble padding. The outermost box is a Uline crush resistant rated up to 200 pounds.
