Semicentennial

I was going to post something but...

Got it confused with another book. It was that Zatanna book. BA#12 is Batman Adventures #12. That wasn't your book.

I find this both hilarious and sad. This book looked like the corner was still attached in the pictures you posted on your other threads, but now it fell off. If you were tinkering with it to make it look better, like what you did with your BA#12, then maybe you should leave that type of work to the pros.

8.0 to 8.5, but a good candidate for C&P.

9.0-9.2.

Looks like an 8.0 on the front, but that back corner crunch drops it. I'd say it's in the VG/FN range (5.0).

VG (4.0).

Looks like a VG+ (4.5).

.5

Fine- (5.5)

I don't think they're is much value in those Archie's. I collect Archie's and I didn't see any issue that were highly collected so most are probably $1 to $2 each. Cheryl blossom early appearances and 1st and 2nd Vampironica are worth grading if you have it. Also swimsuit covers are sometimes worth a few dollars more, but there is so much hype on these books that most probably won't hold much value after the initial pump and dump.

My favorite series when I was a kid was marvel universe. I started with #5, but eventually got the earlier issues.

So based on your own opinion, not what you read on-line, how is grading killing the hobby.

Didn't you just get into the hobby? I'm curious as how someone who is new to the hobby think comic grading kills the hobby when it was here before you even started. I can see how the hobby has changed for those that were in it before the grading company came along, but not for someone who just started since the grading company were already in existence when before they even started.
