Myowncollector

I was just making a lame one liner. Had no thought or meaning to it. But yeah I feel that way about majority of keys. Went from treating comics as a collector to now more like a market investor. He will probably show up in movie and book will double so not a terrible buy. Don't see it going down.

Sounds like you need your head examined.

Calling it like I see it. I personally mainly collect gold and silver. But the under 30 crowd? If you sell books or pay attention to them on social media you will see what they want. I got bunions older than books that they call grails.

Qualified roughly half the value. Non effecting is better, easier to sell.

Somebody should make a book that teaches you how to grade and then give prices for that grade. I think it could work.

Mind blown. This has been around for a year. I have looked at thousands of books on eBay and have never seen this. In short for those not wanting to read article, for $5 cgc will give you an opinion if book is authentic. For $10 they give you a broad grade range and what color label it will get judging by ebay seller photos. May take 2 days for a reply. I was going to undercut them to provide this service but they will also provide you with coupon voucher so basically service is free if you send them the book within 90 days.

Justice League 50 $20 - $25 with 3 jokers book coming. In humans 5 up with new black widow news, most probably sold it a year ago. Paper girls for the fans of $7 to $10 been hot for awhile if you call that hot, didn't feel it was worthy of post but since I am there it is.

yeah. it got speced on then forgotten. Better than most other books I seen mentioned. Kids don't want these old books, all modern. I think the silver heating up will only get 3 books a year.

For sure. I sell most things raw over gpa price. Always somebody who will think the book grades higher than it would. 9.8 needs to be slabbed to get those prices. If someone can sell a raw 9.8 big key for full pop I bow down to them.

It's possible, just not common. I have sold 9.8s raw, but for enough $ that it didn't make sense slabbing. If a book sells for $40 raw high nm vs 80 or 90 slabbed then not worth slabbing. I have a couple handful of dealers who grade honest. But yeah 95 to 98 percent of sellers lie from what I see.

you will see on the forum few times a week at least someone who bought a book a seller claimed 9.8 and then they get a wake up call. And this forum is a fraction of a percent of comic buyers. Just scroll ebay auctions and you will see most the books getting the price of the claimed grade, click on photo it isn't claimed grade. Majority of comic buyers can't grade. Those books could be legit grades, but even if they aren't the buyer will never know unless the send it to cgc. They probably think they will send it to cgc and make a nice profit, they don't factor in taxes, shipping. Don't think to themselves, how come this guy didn't send the 9.8 into cgc?

Same as everyone else. 3 new spiderman and Khan. Some think Chavez can do something. Is there anything left to do that is original? What powers havnt been used? Even 1940s comics aren't original. Read gladiator and it heavily inspired superman. Mythology is pretty much super heroes. But last 30 years it's pretty much take a super heroes and change their race gender color or give them a kid. Going forward it will be LGBT. It's a marvel world though. I think DC Gave up on making new characters 70 years ago. Maybe 40, they did try to give us booster gold. MCU can make anyone a hit so any marvel character no matter how obscure or lame can be a star. Just make a black wolverine and people will pay $50 for it on eBay for sure. Will sell 200k copies at a minimum. That is the next big character. Already have it wrote. Young black mutant with healing abilities is wrongly arrested. Looking at life in prison unless he volunteers for weapon x program. Bam new wolverine.

Most likely waiting till the end is my guess. But I wasn't too impressed with the offerings. Still found about a dozen books that I was either interested in or others that I would be buying for. Difference in grading criteria for sure. Removed the remaining 2 from my list and skipping this auction.

You can do this yourself before submitting. Why pay a company to take photos or scan the book. Or simply don't slab it if you like reading it so much. Or like others said reader copy, reprint, digital.

Sometimes you have a 9.7 Since there is no 9.7 you have to go one way or the other. That's probably it. But you would think cgc and artist would be more careful with books, if you keep getting 9.8s lowered are you going to keep paying to get them signed.
