Guardian Comics 6,162 posts Posted September 28, 2010 I briefly looked at it...if I am reading it right: they won't grade books over $300, and they won't grade restored books their "slab" is just .55 mil plastic no where could I find "who"...to me, that is the MOST important aspect of a grading company ... interesting though Gator: Judging by the location, did you think the "who" might be the same person that I thought it was? The style of case makes me believe it is not but you never know. Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DiceX 40,428 posts Posted September 28, 2010 Heck, I might start a company where I charge people to grade their books and I'll just seal them in commercially available Mylar sleeves and put a grade sticker on it... Someone beat you to this. It's called a Time Capsule. And they're frozen for 20 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DR.X 27,846 posts Posted September 28, 2010 Well, according to David G. in Athens... Grading and selling my comics has never been easier or more profitable... The picture and statement from this add cracks me up. Reminds me of the old " Grit" or "Seeds" adds on the back covers of comics. DR,X Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
comicwiz 13,354 posts Posted September 28, 2010 Looks like the "slab" is nothing more than one of those plastic packages that you have to cut to get into. This is similar to the way PGX started Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snake Eyes 8,861 posts Posted September 28, 2010 OK...sucker bid placed...all are roughly the same price...and hoping no one else will bid on this drek. Minimum bid placed on the Thor 142. If I snag it, I will bring it to this thread for comments, jokes, and generally $15 worth of entertainment...after I slice off a finger opening it, we'll throw it in a grading thread and see how it comes out (thumbs u Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jools&jim 11,210 posts Posted September 28, 2010 Looks like these guys are aiming for the clueless kids/grandparents market: a bottom-feeding approach suitable for hustling--in large quantities, quickly & cheaply produced--on the Home Shopping Network...
