| NewBee question... I have a Dark Shadows #1 from 1969. If it does not have the poster that is supposed to be included, how much does that affect the grade? I'll have to find it again to re-evaluate the grade if it did not have that omission, but in general, say, if it was in VF condition, does it make it just FN or something else? | ||

 I bought a meat grinder on amazon for $60 and it's changed my life.

| Like missing a marvel value stamp, I would estimate it to lose 2 grades. An 8.0 would become a 6.0. | ||

| A coupon commonly found in late 70s marvel books, like Incredible Hulk 181. Most kids cut them out, so it drops the value tremendously from a $1000 mid grade book, and makes it worth $300-$400 suddenly. | ||

| If you can find that poster on eBay and snatch it up then you have no problem | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by MR_SigS It's an informative site. I don't think it is their responsibility to to tell anyone to check inside a comic. It lists all MVS and the issues they appear in. After that, it is each person's responsibility to check his own comics, don't you think? |

@MR_SigS Very True. Surprisingly there are collectors who buy expensive comics and aren't aware of MVS. Maybe ignorance is bliss until they decide to sell a comic without the MVS to an unsuspecting (and disgruntled) buyer. LOL  |

Quote:Originally Posted by dburghard It should be noted that if you find a poster for your book and add it back in - and then send it to a grading company - it will in some fashion be noted as having a married page/centerfold or poster. CGC used to give married pages and covers a green, Qualified label. Their webpage now indicates it would get a restored purple label. CBCS will put it in a blue label, but note the married page(s) |
