Set Description:
      
Have great early memories of many of DC 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) Miss-cuts abound.
2) Glue stains and drips
3) Torn spines
4) Scrapes, usually located on the top left Front Cover corner
5) Cover Indentations and Creases are common due to thick rigid stock.
6) Variable paper quality (outer pages may be off-white BUT the middle 3/4 of the book will have snow 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 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? |
