Footnote

Our specialists have been grading comic books for over thirty years and consider themselves competent, consistent and accurate graders. That notwithstanding, we are fully aware that not everybody grades comics the same. We have even seen differences between grading from Third Party Graders such as CGC, CBCS and PSA. Grading comics is subjective and not an exact science. We do not guarantee that the stated grade of any raw comic will be graded the same by a Third Party Grading Company. No item may be returned or refused based on this information.
