Hello Friends, I am a total newbie at grading. What do you think about this comic book from my collection? I am including also an interior photo to show you the color of pages.

I add my contribution to this thread by saying that I also recently discovered Collectorz and it's bringing me back to the comic books world. I have been an avid comic book reader for my entire life, but I stopped buying and collecting some years ago. I was tired of all the relaunches, the new titles, etc. It was difficult to keep track of everything. Collectorz makes it so easy to add comics and follow a series! I have scanned all my comics in few minutes using their iPhone app, and now I am having fun going through my collection with the web-based software, and I can finally see any gap in the collection, all titles and series, etc. It's a lot of fun.

Hello Friends, I feel the Christmas time and I would love to get some nice back issue with great holiday stories in the super-hero and Disney genre. Which issues would you recommend me to buy? Nothing crazy expensive. Thanks!

I would like to follow-up on this thread and ask whether your opinion has changed and if you guys have new recommendations. I am particularly interested in online services that allow you to monitor your pull-list online, make changes every week (if you want) and that do not require pre-orders from Previews.

Chuck Rozanski has been said this for a long time and has been offering newsstand versions of many comics at higher price rates.

In case you guys are interested, I am selling here part of my collection of Italian editions of Amazing Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and (soon) X-Men. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=9188795#Post9188795

I wonder if Steve Ditko is living a good life or whether he has money problems. He has isolated himself right after his Marvel times and surely enough, he left the game before it became profitable as it is today.

Argh! You are right, my mistake. Another example. ASM 53 CGC 9.2 (Mycomicshop) at $355.86. Overstreet value at $270. It's 30% more. In this case, it makes more sense. A 30% premium for the assurance that the grading is correct may be worth it.

Uh! This approach totally makes sense. 9.0 and under books do not seem to be super premium priced and you still get a great reading and collecting copy of an issue that you can feel confident cracking open and store in mylar.

Do you inform CGC of the cracked book? I wonder if the current stats on the CGC database are updated.

But sometimes the premium price that you pay for a CGC graded comic books is a lot. For example, Mycomicshop currently has ASM 85 9.0 at $425 when Overstreet's Guide has the same issue, same 9.0 conditions at $111. This is $314 more! I am a newbie at serious collecting so please forgive me if this is a stupid question or observation.

I was surfing online and I found this video: Why do people crack open their CGC comic books? Are books going to get damaged if kept into the CGC case (maybe paper will deteriorate quicker)?
