Appropriate Content for grading

   I love reading and collecting comics, been at it since I was a kid growing up in the 90's. I have a bunch of books that have appreciated in raw value. The idea of getting them graded to enter into the competitive set registry is my motivation here. I've read over much of the material about how to submit and my membership permits me to submit. However, I still feel as though I am missing something in understanding what type of content is appropriate to submit for grading. How much raw value appreciation percent is enough to justify a sumbit? Is a 4:1 variant cover something that would benefit from a grading? How about a book that only ran 8000 prints? I will do my research on books that have grades and see what specifications they have in common, but I would appreciate any advice or guidance from experienced members here. Happy hunting.

i don't collect moderns but you could check the census on some of the issues you are thinking of grading just to get a general idea if it has been graded often or not and then to get an idea of the value go to eBay SOLD listings to see what some of your comics have actually sold for on the open market...........

thanks for the reply, since posting this I've discovered the gpa for cgc analysis website. using this in conjunction with ebay sold listings is very helpful.
