The OWL Card and What It Means to Collectors of Comic Books !!
What is the OWL Card and what does it mean to me as a collector??? Well, 'OWL Card' stands for 'Overstreet's Whiteness Level Card' which is a very handy card to use when grading comics! Besides checking for tears, stains, writing, store stamps, fold, and other type of defects, you must also check for the 'whiteness' of the pages!! Wait a minute! Weren't the old comic books printed on newspaper type of paper? How could that paper stand the test of time and be white??? Well, that is where this card comes in handy, as when you find a comic book listed with a different level of paper color you now know what it signifies! For your collecting of comics you should buy an Overstreet Grading Guide, and an OWL Card. Just check out the eBay auctions for a copy of your own! (Sorry, we are keeping our copies!) However, after you have check out your comics with the OWL Card, and find that you want to upgrade to a better grade of the comic book, check out our CGC encapsulated comic books in our eBay Featured Comic Book Store for high grade collectibles!
