Here at Otherworldly Comics, we realize grading can be very subjective. With that being said, we do our very best to be as conservative as possible. Every book on our website has been given a grade estimate and we provide front and back cover photos for every book in our inventory! We never assign grades higher than NM+ (9.6) to raw books, no matter how pristine they are! We encourage all of our customers to shop with complete confidence!
