Thanks, doesn't even seem worth it to send it in then.

Bought it new, can't remember why but it was probably one of the last comics I ever bought. Stuck it in a bag with a board and never read it. Put it in a box and there it sat for 30+ years until I found it last weekend cleaning out my garage.

I agree, when I first saw what a few of the ones I have were selling for I was surprised. Then when I put on the old guy reading glasses & looked really close I started to see the flaws.

Thanks, I'll try that with the Crow comic.

Thanks, I think working with them makes sense given I have zero experience with selling comics. After doing a bit of research on what highly rated comics look like and defects that bring down the rating I took a careful look at some of the comics I had that typically sell on eBay in $30 to $100 range. I think there's small defects on almost all of the comics I looked at in that range. It just doesn't seem cost effective to send in comics that would likely rate between 8.0 to 9.4 but need a 9.6 or 9.8 to even sell in the $30 to $100 range. I'm going to send in a few Modern tier, that look better than the others, directly to CGC. Based on that experience I should get a better sense of how I want to proceed with the Crow #1.

Hi, I'm so new at this i just learned what raw and cgc are yesterday. I'm not a collector but bought some comics as a teenager back in the mid to late 80s, read some, never opened most, put them in bags, and stored them in two comic book boxes at my parents for maybe a decade. The last 20+ years they stayed in those boxes inside moving boxes in my garage and I forgot all about them. I started cleaning out my garage a couple of weeks ago and opened up the boxes and found them. Yesterday I started going through them and looking for what they sell for on eBay. 95% of them are not DC or Marvel and have no value. There's a few with possibly a little value like a couple of 1st print Dark Horse Aliens #1. Looking those up is when I stumbled across sales with official CGC rated comics which led me here. I also found a Crow #1. I never read them or opened them. They look like they're brand new. I don't plan on buying or collecting comics. Just want to sell the few I have and move on. Seems like it makes sense to get the Aliens and Crow #1 rated. I do have the entire Aliens series and a bunch of other Dark Horse stuff as well. As for some of the other stuff should I post pictures of them in forums for feedback on if it makes sense to send them in to cgc? Thanks
