JackBu Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) Greetings..This is my first post. I collected Marvel comics when I was a kid (most issues from 1968) They have been in storage ever since. I dug them out and am trying to get an idea of what condition they are in. This Doctor Strange 169 is representative of the condition of most, Can you give me an idea of grade? Thx Edited March 2, 2020 by JackBu Grade in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mars76 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I think the high gloss on the cover got you that 8.0. Beautiful book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if CGC's graders use a magnifying glass when they grade thewritestuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
