Set Description:
      
"1970's - Mid 1980's DC digests why are they scarce in high grade?"
(Portions courtesy of vane0326)
1) Miss-cuts abound.
2) Glue stains and drips
3) Torn spines and other Bindery issue
4) Scrapes, usually located on the top left corner of the front cover.
5) Cover Indentations and Creases are common due to thick rigid stock.
6) Variable paper quality (outer pages may be off-white BUT middle of the book will have White pages)
7) Small pin holes on the covers.
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? |
