1.5 - Action comics 252.
Lower grades honestly don't bother me all that much.

3.5 Incredible Hulk 181 but I'm about to send a Fantastic Four 12 that will come back with a 0.5 grade because its missing the last page which doesn't affect story.

.5 even though it's very low-grade it's one of my favorite books

How I learned to make sure to count pages slowly and accurately.

I counted the pages to FF 12 ten times at least and it was hard to notice what page it was missing since it didn't affect the story.

My lowest graded comic is Green Lantern 1 at a 2.5 grade. It is extremely special to me. I could seek out a higher grade and spend more money, but it is still beautiful and full of history. I love Silver age.

@mrelowe Thanks! It was pretty clear at the time that the book wouldn’t cool down anytime soon so I jumped on the raw book while I could afford it. Same goes with the Daredevil and my ASM #129

With the new CGC reslabbing promotion, might be time to look for some PGX copies of books too.

@mrelowe I Just picked up a PGX "8.5" ASM 129, "9.8" Marvel Tales 106, as well as New Mutants 87 & 98 (raw) from the LCS in town that restocked the wall w/ PGX books b/c he couldn't handle the CBCS/CGC TAT's. The asking price was equivalent to CBCS/CGC price, but I offered $800 under and he took it. I kind of understand his thinking; need to have product on the wall to sell, & the uninformed don't know (or care) about the differences between grading companies. Regardless, they're going to CBCS for re-grade & a respectable slab.

I love low grade books. The fact that they're usually dirt cheap is just icing on the cake.

Most Impressive. I am having trouble understanding your theme. Is it signed copies?? LOL You seem to have a few to spare.

Always wondered if people that own these more grail type books minus the cover or with remaindered covers ever consider keeping them unslabbed and displayed with a high fidelity copy of the orginal cover wrapped around the book for appearance ......for me it would be tempting although that would void in this case the certified signature
