Thrawn

I dabble in selling slabs. Whenever I move one I usually throw another comic in just to say thank you. It’s a feel good thing for the buyer and the seller.

4.0 - 4.5 with a press. Congrats your father left you one of the most coveted books in the hobby.

I scanned though all the excellent advice and my advice would be the same as the majority, clean, press and grade the book for safe keeping. The one thing I might add that I didn’t see is if the book is graded and you choose to not sell in the event your book is passed on to your heirs they would likely appreciate the significance of the book easily. your mom was going to throw it way. If it was in a CGC case I bet the thought never crosses her mind. I’ve lost both my parents it’s tough, my condolences.

That was my thought maybe I missed a stain somewhere. I’m likely going to break it out and have a close look. I feel like regardless of the outcome I learned something here.

Hello, First I didn’t know where to post this so I thought the newbie section might be my best choice. I’ve been grading books through CGC for about 10 years. I’ve had books come back better than I anticipated and books that didn’t grade out quite what where I thought they were. However I just had a book come back that from my perspective the grade isn’t even close to representing the book correctly. it’s a modern book thats near flawless as far as I can tell, yet CGC is calling it very fine. Usually when I disagree with a grade grader notes point me in the right direction and I see what brought the grade down or I chalk it up to I make a mistake and move forward from there. Two questions. Will CGC entertain me if I call them and inquire, secondly have others had similar experiences with a book grading being totally out to lunch and what was the outcome. thank you

I’m envious as well...

Don’t ask me why but I seem to have acquired numerous copies over the years of this book.

It’s been a few years since I posted it, but I could tell the story of how I snagged a bag and boarded 98 for a dollar, which turned into this.

My favourite copper age book currently in the collection.

WOW

Thought this might be a good place to post this: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Sgt-Rock-1977-422-CGC-9-8-1109995011-/310603750442?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item48516d1c2a Anyone think they will get anything close to this price ? I ask because I have one of the other two graded at 9.8

What a steal !!!

A couple of duds from this latest submission which are not very interesting but you can't win every time. I’m really happy with these two though. Thanks once again Branget. I think the 422 is tied at the top of the census with one other book.

Was this an E-bay purchase ? congrats it looks great.

I'm not sure what else you want to see. this was the only book of interest I got at that garage sale (i've done really well at others though) I pick up this NM 98 along with four other books of no real interest asked how much for all five and was told five dollars end of story. Now sits in my collection.

It's been awhile but I got around to taking a craptastic picture with my b-berry Quick Recap I bought this book at a garage sale this summer bagged and boarded for one dollar.

Nice book but does it count as Bronze Age ? It does in my collection... I really don't think it is important for everyone to agree on the stopgaps for the Ages... There are certain series that I consider Bronze (Witching Hour being one of them) that just happen to have started a little early, but are still solidly Bronze in my eyes. I do not, for instance, consider Creepy to be a Silver Age magazine, even though, chronologically, it is. It is either the last hold over from the Atom Age, or the first forerunner of the Bronze Age, but bears no resemblance to anything involved in the Silver Age. End Intresting point, it makes sense to me.

Nice book but does it count as Bronze Age ?

That is cool.

My first books to CGC Not only does the camera suck but the nut behind it as well. I know It's tough to see but the ASM 60 came back 9.0 with OW to W pages.

Picked this up at a garage sale last weekend for a dollar. I'm not a NM/Deadpool fan by any means but hey if you have the opportunity and it's a buck............

looks alot like my copy.

Just started collecting again after 10 years. Sold my collection 5 years ago. ( I have no idea why I would sell?) Anyways just starting all over again and really liking Neal Adams work this time around. Bought a collection of Bronze age books off a guy at work this week, This was one of the nicer Adams books in the collection.
