Set Description:

Great early memories of many of these Digests and how they allowed me to discover/explorer what was (no longer is) DC's rich tapestry.


"1970's - Mid 1980's DC digests why are they scarce in high grade?"
(Portions courtesy of vane0326, and special thanks for all his digest efforts)

1) Miscuts abound. When minor CGC does not count as a negative.

2) Glue drips and stains

3) Torn spines

4) Scrapes, usually on top left corner of the Front Cover

5) Indentations and creases are common on the Covers due to thick stock.

6) Variable paper quality (outer pages may be off-white BUT middle of the book will have White pages)

If a DC Digest somehow managed to remain in high grade after the printing/manufacturing and distribution processes, man-handling of what at the time were less desirable comics comes into consideration. All these many factors make DC Digests very difficult to find in 9.6 NM+ and near impossible to locate in raw in potential 9.8 NM/M. One might speculate if demand for these Digests was higher they might rank among the most valuable DC books from 1979-1986?
