If you bought them for yourself and you’re happy that’s one thing. But if you bought for resale I’d be more more worried about the narrower audience for faded copies than the significant grade drop. I mean, the grade will be what it will be and you can always price it fairly for the corresponding grade number assigned. But I would think the buyer pool is likely smaller for a faded copy versus a same-grade bright copy in most (but not all) cases. 

Thanks for the feedback.  That makes total sense.  I did buy them to sell them last summer and I didn't even realize until I took them out of the bag what happened to them.  I would definitely sell them for a lesser price but you're 100% on point, how many people want a comic that's faded with a white circle even if it is way cheaper than a higher graded copy.

Somewhat significantly.

That's what I figured.  Thanks for the response.

Bought some comics at a garage sale and they had a circle sticker on the bag, when I took them out you could see they sat in the sun for a while and faded the white except for a small circle you can see on the right.  How much does this fading affect the grade?
