Comics can easily move within many types of mailers without additional packaging inserted to keep them from sliding around. I would not suggest sending just the mailer - the probability for damage would be high. If anything, consider securing the comic(s) in a mailer, then wrapping the mailer within another box (priority mail, a slightly bigger box, etc.) just to have the extra protection. Packages get thrown around, stepped on, and stacked on by heavier objects so the better packaged with padding/wrapping the better.

I can't really tell what's going on with the spine on the top left FC if that is a mishandling indentation or not. If not, 9.6 to 9.8.

Very nice!

Dang. I know I have a few of those. Going to be like BuscemasAvengers and have to go digging...

Gotta put this one in here!

And another ASM with a great cover...

Sold one in 2018, but keeping a few of these in my pc...just a great cover!

And another ASM cover that's doubled in price at the moment...

Agreed. I don't buy many graded cards because I would rather seek them out and get them graded myself; however, I do want to know exactly what contributes to the final grade for a purchase.

I'd love to contribute more but an early post was removed for "politics" - not sure why as factual statements were made like many others here. Anyway.... Looks like its time to double-down on sales until that date!

How was this stored and what kind of environment?

For this comic a multi-step press would be worthwhile.

Surprised with what appears to be small creases on the spine that break color in the photos. If I would have sent this in it probably would have received a 9.4 ish... Congrats!

I did not see this back when it was originally posted, but in looking at the images closer before seeing the grade I thought 9.0 to 9.2. Probably just as surprised as anyone else. Congrats!

Does not look 9.6 - those bottom corners for sure. Is that a crease on the bottom left side of the title on FC or a scratch mark on the case?
