    Burned on EBAY too many times.

    I hope I've learned my lesson. I'm tired of getting burned on raw books on ebay. I bought an AMZ SM #3 that looked to be VG. When I got it I was very happy with the cover, but the pages were brittle and after flipping through the book the spine split on 1/2 the pages all the way to the staple. I wrote the seller and he agreed to refund 1/2 my price, which at the time, I thought was fair: bringing my investment to $96.00 However, after a few more viewings, pages started coming completely out. I can't really blame the seller since I had the opportunity to return the book, but chose the $96 price.

     

    I hope I learn to be smartewr in the future. Buying slabbed books is definitely safer, but you can't read them. What to do? Buy reprints for reading, but its not as much fun. Go figure.

    Better late than never.

    Totally lost!

    Been wanting to join for some time now but never bothered for one reason or another.I stopped collecting comics about 15 or so years ago-I had to choose between comics or sportscards-but never lost my love of a good story or match-up.I've been picking up Wizard magazine for some time now and I'm TOTALLY lost with what's going on in the Marvel and DC universe but still enjoy reading it from cover to cover.(I'll probably wind up subscribing to it.)Anyway,I still have around 400 or so comics left-my peach being Hulk 181- and would like to get around to getting most of them graded and moving them.

    Annoying newbie question

    Hey I just registered with the cgc, and read everything about

    submitting my books, but I have one burning question. How the hell do I find the submission form, I can't find it anywhere throughout this website, and their office is closed due to it

    being the weekend and what not. Can someone tell me how to find

    the submission form or paste a link for me, gracious.

  4. You know as a collector of comics, this whole grading thing is really cool. I am beginning to really get addicted to CGC. My second LOT of comics are here and what can I say other than I'm really happy!!!

    Hi there everyone-

     

    I am again thrilled by the job that CGC does. I sent in 3 more comics for grading and the turn around on them where great..

     

    I had NXY #2, V for Vendetta #10, and Iron Man #127 graded.

     

    The thing I think that I really enjoy about having comics graded is when I do sell I know what I have and if I never sell I will have great comics protected to give to my children.. I can not say enough about the CGC world and how much I have become a collector again.. THANKS and I'm really looking foward to my next LOT, due to the fact that I have a MILE HIGH COLLECTION comic in there!! So long everyone and have a great day!!

    DC 7-8/74 CGC 9.6

    Recently acquired from auction. This book was advertised as 'the highest graded issue'. In actuality was 1 of 5 top grades. Moral being: research your purchase. 'Nuff said!

    I collect Marvel and DC comics.

    Most of my comic-book collection is Marvel comics and some DC with a few indy comic-books. I have collected for several years and have read comics intermittenly over the years. I am looking to collect and trade comics. I also collect coins but not as much. I am currently auctioning Superman Doomsday books 2 and 3 at yahoo auctions. These books are in near mint to mint condition. I also recently acquired Superman books 1 and 2, titled , "Last Son of Earth" written by Steve Gerber and illustrated by Doug Wheatley. Some very nice art in this Superman title. Thanks for reading and it's great to be a member here at Colletors' Society.

    Last friday i found this issue of C.A.C at a really low price: $150.00, at a local store that look more like a warehouse;

    well tomorrow is the lucky day ...i'll go buy it. want to send it for grading, but i'm not sure about it ....i don't think it's secure, but who knows ... this might be the same thought that prevented me from buying the comic when i first saw it...

    GS XMen #1 and 94 returned, 9.4 for both!

    Just heard from my younger brother that my latest submissions had been picked up by him earlier in the week. With baited breath I waited on the phone while he popped the box - I was very happy to get the numbers! My GS #1 was a 9.4 white and my 94 was a 9.4 Off white to white. Very pleasing! I'm now motivated to send off the rest of my run from 95-101 (which I got along with the above mentioned books) from one collector nearly 10 years ago.

    This server business is absolutely unacceptable. We should be issued /hourly/ updates; instead we're given vague, off base reports every several days. This is plain irresponsibility.

    Neutro may not be the most memorable comic character to most collectors but to me it is one of my most cherished books.

    When I was a kid traveling back and forth from Connecticut to Maine with my family this Dell one shot was read and re-read by me on several of those trips. I just loved the Jack Sparling artwork and his ability to portray a giant robot with skill and expertise.

    The expertise of Sparling sparked my interest in aquiring the cover art to my favorite book and my search had begun.

    When I was an avid teen collector "The Buyers Guide for Comic Fandom" was the "Ebay" of my generation. Hundreds of sellers offering their wares in a tabloid bi-weekly rag that offered almost every kind of comic related item of the day. It was here that I learned of "Collectors Showcase" auctions and thus zipped off my name and address in order to be on their mailing list of frequent phone auctions.

    After several auctions had passed I recieved the listing that would make my day. It was an auction that was offering original art of which, lo and behold, one piece was my "Grail". Luckely I happened to win the item with a high bid of a whopping $25.00 and the piece was finally mine of which I present here in it's cropped form due to the size constraints of my scanner bed along with the high grade comic of which, Canadian cyber-buddy, Greg Loey(Greggy)had recently aquired for me.
