6.5 to 7.0

5.5 if moisture damage and small, 6.0 if none, maybe 7.0 after CP

I wanted to get some opinions on recommendations I had from an organization which states that "For more than 40 years Conservation Resources has proudly delivered the highest quality conservation and archival storage materials to major institutions dedicated to preserving cultural and historical artifacts worldwide." https://www.conservationresources.com/shop-our-store/ They advertise that they supply materials, boxes, paper, bags, etc. for Libraries and Museums. So I figured I'd check them out for suggestions on storing comics. I had some emails and a couple phone conversations about the best way to store comic books. In one email CR said concerning sealing comic bags in boxes: "You don’t want to seal it because the polyester is somewhat impermeable and you want whatever chemicals off-gas from the comic to be able to escape, not be trapped in the enclosure with the end result that the comic essentially ‘stews in its own juices’. If you use MicroChamber boxes they will absorb the by-products of the deterioration (which is slowed but not halted by proper archival storage) and the interior of the box will remain a pristine environment." In another email: "Using a MicroChamber box is an added layer of protection because it really should address the issues of outside air pollutants, thus leaving the interleaving paper or the backing boards to concentrate on what is coming from the paper and inks from the comic books themselves......No museum or library I know completely seals anything. The material being preserved whatever it may be is going to release by-products of deterioration over time. Polyester (aka Mylar) envelopes and “L” seals are used widely, as you know, but completely sealing them is just not because we want these problematic gaseous compounds to escape. Further, the last thing you want is Chemical A and Chemical B floating around and catalyzing another reaction which leads to Chemical C, which may be more troublesome than either A or B on its own. Does that make sense?" Yes, that does make sense! So why do we want to seal our comics so they can "stew in their own juices"?? What are opinions on this. Seems like people who take care of documents much older than our comic books would know what to do.

Not much missing, rest of FC good.. soiling along back spine and pages tan w fading or dirt on bottom edge..6.0 to 6.5 ..up to 7 if BC can be cleaned

6 to 6.5 as is.. up to 7 to 7.5 after CP

This was also in that group of Daredevils I got from Heritage. Thanks.

2 to 2.5

6.0 ,get a CP

5.5 on upside

6.0..Can a CP get those stains out on back?

4.0 to 4,5

Forgot to add this scan of part of inside

Still, wouldn't those visible scratches lower grade to about 9.2?

Not sure what's up with that bottom staple ..if tight and firm 9.0..if missing staple much less.

6.0

Got this in a group of 4. Was thinking of getting it graded. What do you think it will grade as. Do you think a cleaning would help? Thanks.

What Mars76 said, except I think the tear brings it down to a 6.5

I think it might go 5.0

For you consideration a No. 38 Spidey. Lots of spine wear. Also a couple of pieces of tape have been used on inside cover around staples. Cream pages. Complete

4.5..been trying to get one of these so follow prices - a CGC 4.5 went for $120 on ebay this month..gocollect estimates a 4.5 CGC it $100 and if its a 5.0 gocollect says $170!

Not fading, something was spilled on cover. What's the white almost ring on bottom of V in Avengers? back cover looks faded even inside, is the cover supposed to be off-white/cream or is it faded too... spine pretty good....4.5 IMHO.

Soiled BC? CP might help up it 6.5 as is

To get a ballpark idea of grade you could try the forum Hey Buddy Can You Spare a Grade? can get a lot of other collectors opinions before you send it in. https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/forum/42-hey-buddy-can-you-spare-a-grade/ Good luck. "To Slab or Not to Slab, that is the Question"

Well thinking of getting it regraded at CGC since this was a PGX slab at 6.5, but don't want it to go lower than 6.0.May just try to sell it as is.

3.5..a cleaning would make cover and back look better , but not sure that would raise grade because of those cutouts and stain thoughout
