Grading Time

Please let the grading gods be with me on this one.... Its that time again. I will be sending 5 raw books out to be graded. I have a box of about 30 EC comics that I have accumulated that need to be graded. The last run didnt go as well as I wanted so Im hoping for better luck this time. Usually I send a book in thinking its a 7.0 and I get a 5.0 back....so this time i am not going to have high expectations. Ive learned I only get bummed once the verdict is read. So to spare myself the the u

This is never ending....

Some slightly new ECs to add to collection... Got these a little bit ago....dont mind the glare on the photos. The Crypt of Terror is one of my favs. I love the title and the 3 issues that were published before the title switch have the coolest covers. They are really hard to find, of course, but I am happy with the copy I have. Now if I can only get ahold of the other first 2...... I actually do have a crypt of terror 17 but its in really, and I mean really rough condition. It looks li

Back from the graders

Some low grades but still fun to have... I just recently got these back from the graders. I have a box full of raw books i bought when i first started collecting so im slow sifting through them and sending them off to be graded. I was pretty good with my guess as to what each book would get, Im thankful that i was only off on one, that being the Crime Suspenstories 1. I bought it under the pretense it was a 8.0 with no restoration but clearly i was mistaken.... thats a bit of a disappo

Amazing Spider man 129

My first key Marvel purchase.... I do not usually collect silver age or bronze age marvel or key issues...but recently I figured there may be an investment quality to buying some of these. They seem fairly popular and sought after. So I was looking to get a Hulk 181. Ive always loved Hulk and who doesnt like Wolverine? right? So i placed a high bid on a soon ending 8.0 and was out bid. Ill catch up to another copy later. But I also placed a bid on an Amazing Spider-Man 129 and won the auc

Another under graded book...

How many times have i sent a book in to be graded, knowing, or hoping for a high grade based on the exterior and interior and was totally let down by the grade given...? too many times... I have sent numerous books with high hopes of a 8.0 0r at least a 7.0 and once the book has been graded received a 5.5 What is this? If it looks like a duck and acts like a duck isnt it usually a duck? I recently sent is a Crime Suspenstories #8 that had many qualitys of a 8.0 to 8.5 grade. Sharp corners.
