Well guess what wahoo, we are sick of it, we don't want to hear it any more.

I couldn't agree more. Are we finished yet!

They probably clean them & sell them to Bill Cole

Yes, and I sold Sully the Hulk #141 for $110 some months ago. Have one far nicer copy but stopped slabbing for now (too expensive & time consuming).

I just received an ASM #28 7.0 with a tiny crease (white) folded back on this beatiful black cover! Why didn't a quality control person see this? I decided to list on e-bay anyway! The heck with sending it back.

As far as the book's grade here, 95% probability it's a 6.5 to 7.0. True high grade bronze should have virtually no wear. I've seen 9.8's with small tears in em from a few sellers.

It's always fun to sift through boxes of mid-grade silver & bronze Marvels, Gold Keys, and DC's and buy decent FN quality reading copies. As more high grade books are slabbed in the next few years, a trend could develop where mid-grade books will be highly sought after.

I have collected almost full runs of the Marvel silver titles to read. I have had some mid-grade books slabbed, and I also buy mid-grade silvers (slabbed or not) on occasion to read & add to the collection. Some mid-grade books I wish I hadn't slabbed, like my only copy of ASM #14 (6.0), I looked through the book once & never read it after having it for some 20 years.
