Set Description:
This set mostly contains comics I purchased at least 15 years ago and many close to 25 years ago. Most of the ones that have been in my possession the longest were raw comics I obtained from either eBay, the now defunct Comic Buyers Guide, or comic book conventions, mainly Comic-con International, which used to be affordable to attend. While I picked up a few of the slabs from eBay and Heritage years ago, I submitted most of the raw comics to CGC over the past year. In one case where I had a raw that was in too poor of condition for the set and another that came back with the PLOD, I resorted to recent eBay and Instagram purchases.
Overall, I was very pleased with the grades the raws received. By the time I was purchasing these originally, I had become a very discerning buyer who rejected comics with notable flaws. Of course, due to the rarity of some of these, I had to compromise sometimes.
I have had some recent success upgrading several of the slabs in this collection, mainly the 5.0s. A few have been updated in this set already, and two more will be arriving in the next few months. These have been sourced from eBay, ComicLink, and Instagram.
