Agani unless otherwise noted differently! The mmr collection. Provenancein 1962 when marvel's super heroes were just beignning their reign, a young boy, whose initials are mrm (as you might have guessed) started reading and collecting comics. Over the intervening years mrm built up a 15,000 silver/bronze/modern age premium collection. Mrm has never been a dealer-only a collector - the original newsstand buyer this provenance may qualify his collection for a pedigree with cgc for which application will be made by us (g. A.

G. ) when we send in some of the most stunning beauties for encapsulation. Pedigree comics are not always high grade, i. E, the stan lee collection.

The condition of mrm's earliest silver age comics run on average from vg to vf (moderately to heavily read), nothing to rave about - but they are nonetheless original owner mrm comics and worth registering for retroactive certification in the event cgc does grant a pedigree. What would induce cgc to grnat a pedigree-? Fandom has a history of honoring its own and mrm's collection is a part of fandom history. There are thousands of high-grade nm/m bronze/modern age (1970-1990) comics in the mrm collection! It may take several months to get them lal up on ebay, so check back regularly! We will provide a signed coa upon request to the successful bidder and maintain a purchase register for verification to cgc in the event of future submission for encapsulation.

A. G. uGarantee - return policy. Grading is always subjective (in the eye of the beholder), which is why even cgc experts when differing on the grade of a particular comic consult with one another to reach a consensus.

We are grading experts (in fandom since 1968) with very few disagreements ni our feedback file on comic condition grading - but we are not perfect and may mess up or miss something. If this happens and you disagree with our grading and/or are dissatisfied for any reason no explanation is needed just notify us within one week of receipt that you are returning the book/item fro a full refund. Sorry, we cannot refund shipping, but will grant credit toward future purchases if requested.

Re feedback we have worked hard to maintain a good reputation on ebay. We believe that the customer is always right and our feedback profile should indicate that. We hope that you, our valued ebay partners will not leave neutral or negative feedback before emailing us to let us know there's a problem. We assure you if there is-we will take care of it for you post haste! -g. A. G. Gloden age galleries' cgc guarantee for the comics in this collection g. A.

These nm/mint mrm copies (on consignment), perhaps to become some of the highest grade copies in the cgc registry - can not be returned for subjective grading discrepancies becaues of the risk of contributive damage which the owner fears. If you need a guarantee-have us send the comic (insured) directly into cgc for you.
