WalesUK Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Hi Everyone, I have been thinking of disposing of my collection that I started in 70's through to mid 80's. The highlights are AF 15, SM 1 to 240, FF 1 to 257 I have a good idea of the grades for some of my older comic's as there are many examples of CGC graded versions on-line. But FF #6 seems to lack many choices on-line. I can see a CGC 9.6 on Heritage wedsite. Please guys, can you tell me what you think mine would be graded - I feel it does need to go through pressing first. Just to say I am based in Wales (UK) this is the British priced version - would that effect the grade? Thanks All Get Marwood & I, Galen130 and BoogieWoogie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 You need to read the forum rules please. Posting one picture isn't going to help any of us give you a decent grade estimate. More pictures are needed. Also, a variant doesn't affect the grade of a comic, only defects, etc. Welcome to the boards.

WalesUK Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 I couldn't submit more than one picture previously as the file was too big more pictures added. I feel I should have used better lighting. I hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalesUK Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 Thanks for the grades. Hopefully I get the higher of the suggested grades. I will post the actual grade in a couple of months. BoogieWoogie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoogieWoogie Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Beautiful book! I wish I could say I'm interested in your AF15 but if it's as nice as this book I'd have to trade my house for it GLWS you're sitting on a whole retirement fund if that whole set is this nice!

Thanks for your comments. I wish AF15, SM1, FF1 were near as good - but they are much poorer. I collected as a passtime - I enjoyed collecting & reading the comic's. In the 70's & 80's I didn't consider what I would do with them in the future - let alone 40/50 years later. It wasn't easy collecting then - I would send off a stamped addressed envelope to a dealer, the dealer would send back his list - I would then send a cheque for the ones I wanted. Sometimes the cheque would be returned as my selections had already been taken. Thoses were the days - no computers, no CGC.
