UNCANNY X-MEN (1981 Marvel)
#281 Direct (1991 Copper Age) Mint Grade Range

• 1st appearance Trevor Fitzroy
• Whilce Portacio art begins

Synopsis:

In this issue, the newly reorganized Gold Team of X-Men launches a new era as the time-displaced mutant Trevor Fitzroy makes his first appearance, unleashing future Sentinels on the Massachusetts Academy in a brutal attack that wipes out members of the Hellions, including Beef and Jetstream, and leaves Emma Frost near death. As Storm, Archangel, Colossus, Iceman and Jean Grey race to confront the deadly newcomer, the issue introduces the murderous game of the Upstarts, a key thread that would ripple through the X-books of the early 1990s at the height of the franchise's popularity.

Condition:

For raw books, I do my best to conservatively reflect the Overstreet grading standards, but I am not a professional grader and grading can be subjective so I use the following ranges:

Mint Grade Range
9.8 - 9.6 Near Mint / Mint to Near Mint plus (NM/MT to NM+)

Near Mint Grade Range
9.4 - 9.0 Near Mint to Very Fine / Near Mint (NM to VF/NM)

High Grade Range
8.5 - 7.0 Very Fine plus to Fine / Very Fine (VF+ to FN/VF)

Mid Grade Range
6.5 - 5.5 Fine plus to Fine minus (FN+ to FN-)

Low Grade Range
5.0 - 3.5 Very Good / Fine to Very Good minus (VG/FN to VG-)

Reader Grade Range
3.0 - 1.0 Good / Very Good to Fair (GD/VG to FR)
