Provenancein 1962 when marvel's super heroes were just beginning their reign, a young boy, whose initials aer mrm (as you might have guessed) started reading and collecting comics. Over the intervening years mrm built up a 15,000 silver/bronze/modern age premium collection.

G. ) when we send in some of the most stunning beauties for encapsulation. Pedigree comics are not always high grade, i. E, the stan lee collection. The condition of mrm's earliest silver age comics run on average from vg to vf (moderately to heavily read), nothing to rave about - but they are nonetheless original owner mrm comics and worth registering for retroactive certification in the event cgc does grant a pedigree. What would induce cgc to grant a pedigree-? Fandom has a history of honoring its onw and mrm's collection is a part of fandom history.

G. Guarantee - return policy. Grading is always subjective (in the eye of the beholder), which is why even cgc experts when differing on the grade of a particular comic consult with one another to reach a consensus. We are grading experts (in fandom since 1968) with very few disagreements in our feedback file no comic condition grading - but we are not perfect and may mess up or miss something. If this happens and you disagree with our grading and/or are dissatisfied for any reason no explanation is needed just notify us within one week of receipt that you are returning the book/item for a full refund. Sorry, we cannot refund shipping, but will grant credit toward future purchases if requested. Re feedback we have worked hard to maintain a good reputation on ebay. We believe that the customer is always right adn our feedback profile should indicate that. We hope that you, our valued ebay partners will not leave neutral or negative feedback before emailing us to let us konw there's a problem.

These nm/mint mrm copies (on consignment), perhaps to become some of the highest grade copies in the cgc registry - can not be returned for subjective grading discrepancies because of the risk of contributive damage which the owner fears. If you need a guarantee-have us send the comic (insured) directly into cgc for you. Please bear in mind that cgc is usually back-logged for two months, which is the main reason why the consignee (pressed for immediate cash) is not sending them all in himself.
