Neat story about a copy of Marvel Comics #1 with notes written on it about how much was owed to each creator.

A lot of that kind of stuff is forgiven for Golden Age books. They are "graded to a different standard" the writing is considered part of the charm. As long as the corners, cover, pages, etc... are good, most of the grading houses ignore writing.

It's similar for Silver Age with Comic Shop markings on the front or back as well.
