I posted my Nam #1 in the forum, just to get an idea of what shape most of my books are in:

I'm totally new here, so pardon me if I'm doing this all wrong, but am trying to figure out how to grade the collection of comics I've kept locked away in my parents house since 1991. Here's an example that's pretty typical of most of my books. Would love to hear what people think.

The title is in Green, that's 1st printing, right?

Okay, now I'm curious, what would your 7 be?

Probably not! I'll take some close ups of some comics and post in the grading forum. Thanks!

Thanks! I've poked around on eBay and compared prices, I've watched videos and read the forum about grading and how it works, how long it takes and the costs. I'd still love to hear the totally subjective opinion of some random folks on here about what six books they'd grade if they were me, but if that's not fun for people, no worries and thanks!

Let's say I'm going to sell that Thor. Looks like raw it would maybe get $140 on eBay, but if I grade it and it got a 9.6 it could get up to $300, and if it got 9.8, much more than that. If grading only costs $25, isn't that worth it for some of these?

Mostly for money, kind of to see what I have my hands on, might keep a few as a souvenir of my comic-reading days. But I also think it'd be super-fun to hear some internet strangers (who know more than I do) tell me how to spend my money. If I got 6 graded, sold four on eBay and kept two for posterity, that would hopefully pay for itself, and be kind of fun, too.

Hi! I'm brand-new here. I bought comics for a few years until 91, read them once, put them in a box, and didn't open that box until last week. After doing some googling, out of my two boxes of comics, here are the ones that maybe are worth something. Which, if any, of these do you think are worth grading (they look to me to be in fantastic shape, but what do I know?) Thinking of joining at the $150 tier and then using my $150 credit to get at least 6 of these graded, at least to start)
