The books generally present better than the grade, but upon close inspection there are the customary stains/shadows one expects after storing the books for 50-60 years that bring the grades down. Sometimes they are lower, but sometimes they are also higher.
I have taken all of these factors into account with my offered price. It is either instant inventory, fillers and/or investment treasures! All comics are bagged and boarded. 17 (3.0), 18 (4.0), 19 (3.5), 20 (2.5), 23 (3.0), 25 (2.5), 26 (3.0), 27 (2.0), 28 (3.0), 29 (3.5), 30 (4.5), 31 (4.5), 32 (3.5), 34 (4.5), 36 (3.5), 38 (4.0), 40 (4.5), 41 (5.5), 42 (4.0), 43 (3.5), 44 (3.5), 45 (3.5), 46 (5.0), 47 (4.5), 48 (3.0), 49 (4.5), 51 (4.0), 52 (5.0), 53 (2.5), 54 (2.0), 55 (2.0), 56 (4.0), 57 (3.5), 58 (3.5), 59 (6.5), 60 (6.5), 61 (7.0), 62 (6.5), 63 (4.0), 64 (4.5), 65 (4.5), 66 (6.5), 67 (6.5), 68 (6.5), 69 (6.5), 70 (7.0), 71 (7.5), 72 (7.0), 73 (7.0), 74 (6.5), 76 (7.0), 77 (7.0), 78 (7.0), 79 (6.5), 80 (6.5), 81 (7.0), 82 (4.0), 83 (6.5), 84 (7.5), 86 (6.5), 86 (6.0), 87 (6.5), 88 (7.0), 89 (6.5), 90 (4.5), 94 (3.0), 96 (5.5), 98 (7.0), Ann. 1 (1.0), 2 (cvlrs), 3 (3.0), 4 (2.0), 5 (4.0), 6 (5.0), 7 (6.0). FYI, as a comparison to my assessed grades, I did submit some key ASM books from this collection to CGC and they received the following grades: 5 (CGC 2.5), 39 (CGC 4.0), 50 (CGC 4.5).So, consistent with what I have assessed above. Were these books CGC graded, which they are not of course, the 2022 average sales price would total. For what it is worth, I have served as an Advisor to the Overstreet Comic Book Price & Grading Guides since 2006.
