Please grade my Secret Wars #3
SerialGrape replied to SerialGrape's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
These are phone images again but they should suffice for this - seems to be a bit of a ding, not a tear -
Please grade my Secret Wars #3
SerialGrape replied to SerialGrape's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
Yeah these will all probably recieve a press before they get graded. I haven't been around for a little while but I know there were some board members that offered a pressing and submission service at some point in the past, is this still a thing? Or has CGC put a stop to advertising those services on the boards seeing as they do it in house now? Am I better off just submitting them to CGC myself and getting them to do the pressing? Sorry for all the questions - times have changed in the last year or two since I went on a collecting hiatus... -

I will have to double check when I get home, i didnt notice it when I had the book out, but I can see what you are talking about in this image. As I said in my other thread I'll do better in the future with photo quality, I just used my phone for these. I don't own a scanner but my wife is a professional photographer so I have the tools; she would be ashamed of me for these images -
Please grade my Secret Wars #1
SerialGrape replied to SerialGrape's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
Sorry mate, just used my phone as that's what I had on hand - I'll do better in the future Appreciate everyone chiming in with their thoughts! If the whole set grades above 9.0 in your humble opinions would it be worth grading to sell? Or just sell raw? -

My apologies!

Hey lads and ladies, I'm in the market for a mid-lowish grade x-men 101 and came across this. The seller has given a rough grade of 5.0 but I was wondering if that massuve crease brings it down lower than this to maybe a 4.0 at best? Sorry for the poor quality images, this is all that was available. I just want to make more of an informed decision with regards to the price they have it advertised for. I haven't had much luck finding another copy within my price range that will ship to Australia so I'm keen to jump on it but maybe I'm just too eager haha.

I'm in way over my head with all this

I feel like this comment was overlooked. Well played sir.

This is not mine (I saw it on reddit a couple of days ago), but I'm planning on doing something simmilar when I get a chance: https://imgur.com/gallery/HIcNW My missus really doesn't like longboxes either so this should keep her and me happy. As for cgc comics, ikea has photo rails that look like they work fairly well. I'm sure someone has a link for the CGC case wall mounts that are around too - I couldn't find them.

I think it has more to do with it being a recalled comic more-so than the content... But because it's such an unusual content mishap, that definately adds to the collectability. It doesn't bother me either way though. There will always be a niche market for recalled comics.

Grading A New release with wavy top

I've been noticing this as well. Would love to know why. -
Came home to this/post your worst postage fails
SerialGrape replied to SerialGrape's topic in Comics General
Came home to another one today. Looks like the same postman, this bloke has to be having a lend. Left out in the rain also. What a joke -
Maaan, international shipping is rough. I grabbed some books the other week from the US and by the time shipping and import charges to Australia were factored in it was an extra 80ish as well. Things is rough for us overseas collectors. Import charges kill my soul.

Please grade this Secret Wars #8
SerialGrape replied to SerialGrape's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
Yeah, I'll take some propper shots when I get it in hand. Cheers. -
Please grade this Secret Wars #8
SerialGrape replied to SerialGrape's topic in Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?
If it sits in the 9 range I'll be more than happy for the price. I thought it had a shot in that range, but again, I'm pretty rubbish with grading, hence why I'm here. There's no spine ticks that I can see, the corners are sharp aside from the bottom right which looks a little blunted (this may just be the photo, I won't know until it's in hand) And the staining on the back. Cheers for that link. -
I just grabbed a secret wars lot from ebay for a decent price. They all look in great shape, but just wondering what number 8 would grade at if submitted. There are some slight stains on the back cover These are just photos from the listing. Any advice is appreciated!

Good read. Looking forward to the rest.

eBay The eBay Official eBay Thread eBay
SerialGrape replied to IntoAnother's topic in Comics General
I recently bought a fn-ish xmen 135 off of ebay for a decent price. Transaction went super smooth and it arrived fast. This week (about a week after the comic arrived) I recieved another package from the seller with a note along the lines of "Hi Chris, please enjoy this free upgrade" and it turned out to be a much higher grade copy of the same book. This was entirely out of the blue and unexpected. I want to give a shoutout to the seller for being so generous - it was kermitspadcomics Pretty good way to get some repeat customers. -
Post your Garage Sale/Flea Market/Antique Mall Finds Here
SerialGrape replied to Shark's topic in Comics General
I went to a massive community garage sale yesterday - but I slept in a half hour longer than I should have. By the time I got there I had a look around for comics and couldnt see any. Asked one of the ladies that was running it if they had any, she said there was a pile that sold about 10 minutes prior. She had no idea what was in the pile, so I couldnt even find out what I had missed. I spent the rest of the day kicking myself haha.
