Scanned last week;  I seldom purchase comics unless i can see them in hand first, but I'd been seeking this mesmerizing Classic Cardy Cover in 9.6 and then the 9.8 appeared. Luckily after I had it in hand it would have made my cut.

One day when/if CGC has actual Quality Control again I will submit Silver Age DC's from my collection (mostly 1965-1968).  I search too many years for high grade DC to take any chances at present time.

Freshly graded batch. Cgc’s scans really lightened these up. All have deep dark colors.

Yes CGC sure does have bright scans, PSA does same with card slabs and Heritage now does with Comics. Perhaps I'm wrong but the brightness at those levels  obscures detail. Purposely? I would very much like to know CGCs reasoning behind the degree of brightness used.

So here’s a book that has been strangely elusive for me in grade. You can buy copies of it all day long in lower grades but try going above fine and it turns into vapor. Maybe there’s a million high grade raws out there but only 5 graded copies when I looked and only 2 above this copy. It’s a key Millie book where the format changed from the previous hip soap opera romance title to the new look Millie which was in the Archie mold to compete with their highly successful line. You’d get a Chili title and another Millie title 2 years later both in the Archie type form as Marvel tried competing in the popular kids comics line of comics of the day.

Anyway this copy was cheaper than I expected at auction and has white pages so thrilled to get a decent looking grade on a toughie.
