Anyway, here are a couple. Not much affects the asbestos man, but it will take about thirty years for his villainy to really take affect. I'd worry more about the coronavirus man.

First Dr. Strange, Baron Mordo, Aunt May, and certainly desirable by many collectors. Also neat to see a pence copy of ST#110. As for "quality", are you asking for grades to determine value? Is the cover coming loose from the top staple on #111? Anyway, enjoy the books and welcome to the boards! Yes, that is what I was hoping for. A rough idea of the grade. I know you would need to see whole book, and hard to do in pictures. I just don't have a feel at all for what's what and the grading criteria appears to be somewhat subjective. FYI: I guessed between .5 - 3.0 for 110, so a 2.0 basically. And between a 5.0 - 7.0 on 111 so a 6.0. I don't believe the cover is coming loose from opening and looking through the pages. These were just two examples of extremes in the stack. The other was middle of the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revat Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 There is a sub forum here where you can post comics and ask for grades. Dig around a bit, you’ll find it good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the OO was mainly concerned with foldability on the ST 110. Is there such thing as an origami variant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvelmaniac Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Nice Books!!! Just from looking at the pics you posted my initial thoughts on grades are... 110 - FR/GD 1.5, 97 - VG/FN 5.0, 111 - FN 6.0 Assuming the cover is fully attached and secure https://comics.ha.com/tutorial/comics-grading.s?show=comicdefinitions LTA newb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
