Hero for Hire grades raw comics conservatively and would rather leave room for a buyer to be pleasantly surprised than overstate a book\'s condition. Our grading target is approximately a 50% chance that a professionally graded copy would achieve our estimated grade and approximately a 25% chance of achieving a higher grade. The goal is to provide buyers with a fair or better-than-fair value.
