Optional. While a classic Bronze Age reprint issue, it is not a major key. Grading would only be recommended if you believe it could hit an 8.0+ after a professional press and clean to maximize ROI.
Notable Features
Bronze Age reprint era issue. Features high-action Gil Kane cover art. This issue was part of the run where X-Men was consisting of reprints before the Giant-Size X-Men #1 relaunch.
Authentication Notes
Appears to be an authentic 1975 original. Paper stock shows appropriate age-related toning. Staple placement is consistent with Marvel production of the era. No signs of reproduction or counterfeiting.
