Hi, I have some older comic books that were never protected by plastic bags. We're talking Spider Man #60 and X-Men #54-58 and #64-66. Now the intact cover thing, staples, brittle pages, rips, etc. are pretty easy. But the page discoloration is really difficult. Especially once you get past comics 8.0 and above.
For example the above comics that I listed are pretty good except for the page discoloration. According to the CPG guide these are rated in the Fine category with numbers like 5-7. Am I in the ballpark?
Also ratings are private and retail. If I go to a Comic Book store I will be getting about half even if graded because they have to sell it like a pawn shop, right?
