    Thanks! It's a work in progress (obviously) but if anyone sees anything that needs to be added or errors to be fixed feel free. My goal was not to produce the be-all end-all grading guide, but some info to get the comic newbs on the site started in some of the concepts and terminology.

    I'm thinking of doing a "Comic Book Care" page next. I may need to come up with a better name for it, but you get the idea.

    You're very welcome. I "collect" and I don't know any of that stuff. Mainly because I've only ever collected for the enjoyment of it, not for value. I'm sure I treat mine collection in ways that would make a collector gasp in pain. I treat my comics well, but if I feel like reading it, I pop it out and read it.

    Again, good stuff.

    Looking forward to your "Care and Non-Feeding of Comics" page.
