You can ask Este or anyone in consignment to submit your comics for grading and consignment upon return. You get the MCS grading discount and I think they charge a handling fee of $5 per comic.

Due to MCS' conservative grading and the additional factor of CGC grading only being requested when I feel they have really missed the boat, I would say the comics came back with higher grades 100% of the time. I think MCS is a lot tougher on higher grade books and lower grade books. Books in the middle grades (5.0 - 6.0) I find their grading to be more accurate. Also, I often send raw comics I plan to slab and sell to MCS (with a note to have them graded) instead of submitting them myself!

If you disagree with the MCS grades you always have the option to have MCS send them for CGC grading and consignment upon return. I often do this with raws where grading makes sense.

HAUNT OF FEAR 22

I believe that is the general consensus on ALL Heritage raw grades!

I found the scan from the original Heritage sale (not where I acquired the comic). They graded it as VG/FN.

I just wanted to make sure it looked to others like water damage and not some kind of sealant. I was worried that large ripple where the color break is on the right edge might be a tear that had been "expertly" sealed. With this type of water damage I am guessing the highest grade would be in the 4.0 range?

I have a recently acquired CSS 23 that appears to have a tear seal or possibly some other stain or water damage on the upper right edge? I have attached some pics below for your opinion!

I never even noticed that tear on the Avengers cover. Big thanks to Mike and everyone else who helps out with these contests!

Mine showed all auction and exchange sales combined.

Comictrack Exchange Selling Completed Sales

Compared to Comiclink and Heritage, $70 to Canada is a deal. IMHO the only "auction" house with reasonable shipping rates to Canada is MCS. I think a slab is about $20.

I stayed in Lethbridge for a week a few years ago and our hotel was right beside the bridge. It made for some spectacular scenery and photos (the one below is not mine) at sunset. And I did not see any comics there.
