SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
Well, I had to do it...after 5 years, I decided to upgrade my MM registry set!! The SC40 rarely ever comes up. I have only seen one 9.2 and one 9.4 in auction in the past 4 years. Normally I would shy away from a Cream to Off-White pages graded copy, but I had to nab it. I also own a 9.0 OWW pages. Nice copy, but telltale tanning along the edges...then again this comic is from 1962. Overall, I can tell the differences from the 9.0 to the 9.2 in defects. Page color is a real debate among collectors. Some won't touch anything below OWW. I have softened a bit, thinking more of the comic itself and it's rarity/age. Also, you can't even examine the pages, to see the color, so why worry. I did see the grading notes indicating small Lite tanning in the right center. Overall, I am very pleased with this copy, and the 2nd Gen CGC holder is in great shape.
