    i've started asking for grade ideas and opinion/advice on a stash of comics that belonged to my uncle and just got 'found' recently. i've gone through them and am trying to figure out if they should be pressed and which ones i should get graded (and thank you to everyone who gave perspective on Avengers #1). i would love your thoughts/insight on this Aquaman #1. thanks in advance for your expertise

    thank you for all of the perspectives- very much appreciated! i'm just wrapping my head around what he has and still figuring out what should be graded. as i mentioned- many are in good shape (as good as the Avengers #1 or even much better) but a few are the fragile type that zzutak mentions in the previous post. i assume the only way to preserve these from any further deterioration is to get them graded and slabbed? they are a pretty cool group of late 50's and early 60's Action Comics, Adventure Comics, Worlds Finest Comics, Justice League, etc, but is there enough of a market for lower graded examples like these to make it financially worthwhile to get them graded? if nothing else i'd like to do it just to make sure 60+ years of his hobby are preserved and can get to someone who appreciates them but i'm also hoping that these lower graded books arent a futile attempt at a break even possibility. thoughts? i'll put some shots of other cool finds in this PGM section to see what everyone's opinion is but i'll start a new topic when i do. thanks!

    i've just found a stash of comics from the1940's-1970's that belonged to my uncle with a variety of good, bad, and ugly conditions. i've gone through them and am trying to figure out if they should be pressed (some are fragile) and which ones i should get graded. this Avengers is in the 'definitely get graded' pile, but i'd like to know if i should get it pressed first and what grade i should expect, along with any other words of wisdom you would all like to share. i have much bigger files but tried to resize these to fit the spec in the forum. big thanks in advance.
