CyFactor Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I've been looking everywhere (well, perhaps not everywhere because I'm sure they are out there somewhere) for comparison photos showing the scale from tan to white. Any resource? I'm trying to determine if it's worth submitting a few (Thor 337-340). I'm the original owner of them, and they've been in bags on cardboard from day 1. Unfortunately, living in humid Houston, the inner pages have turned, and I'm trying to determine by how much. Thanks! djzombi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revat Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Unless they are literally perfect in every way, they are likely not ‘worth’ sending in, at least financially. but if you’re still new to grading, there’s a subforum here where you can post pictures of your books and get some grade opinions from other members. “Please Grade my Comic” or something similar. good luck KCOComics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 OSPG used to come with a page quality card, IIRC. Maybe you can find an old one on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the page color that has me wondering. I suspect Beta Ray Bill will get introduced into the MCU at some point, and these books are already starting to go up in value. I just want to be prepared for when/if the price jumps. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Fantastic Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 The larger one may be of more help. CyFactor, djzombi and Mirkinator 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, comparing paper quality from GA, SA and BA books can include a good deal of variation in the composition of the paper pulp itself - even in issues of the same book especially in GA and SA books. What looks "off-white" in a BA or CA book could be the best-looking that a GA or SA page ever looked fresh of the presses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
