I have wondered how badly tanning hits the grade. I will know better in the future.

8.0
8.5
6.5
7.5
9.0
6.0; CGC is going to hammer the tanning. They hate tanning. Probably shouldn't have sent that one.
Another tanning victim; 7.5-8.0.

Quite possibly they are wide. I almost always undergrade by a point or so.

Wow! Those are some pretty low estimates and ones which I hope are well wide of the mark.

First, I'd like to say "Very nice!" I have a lot of Thor, but unfortunately
very few JIM. I'd love to have these in my collection.

That said, my guesses are:

85 - 5
86 - 4 (water damage)
88 - 5.5
89 - 6
91 - 6
94 - 5
97 - 6 (7.5 if the green ink is from the printers)
112 - 4.5-5

Yes, I fully intend to sell the lot and use the cash to help fund my retirement.

On the plus side, I don't think I will realy need to do this for another 10 years so my collection's worth has a wee bit of mileage in it yet. I also intend adding books between now and then as well, especially the likes of JIM #83, Avengers #1 abd 2 and closing out my ASM collection.

I dont remember if I ever asked you, but do you plan on ever selling any of your collection, I think you and King probably get some of the closest to VF/NM of silver age issues I've ever seen.

You should give Thor a chance, especially #126 - #300. Some amazing stories and artwork and still available pretty cheap.

Early Thor JIM#s are tough to get in grade, especially #84 and #89, and prices for these will go up, especially if Thor makes an appearance in an Avengers film and in his own film futher down the road.

Never Cared for Thor......but those are some very sweet looking books.

Here are the last of the books I have sent in for grading. Journey Into Mystery #85,86,88,89,91,94,97 and 112.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that the grader is having a good day and feeling generous! :0)
