wombat Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 I've been on a buying freeze in preparation for Baltimore Comic Con. What's the next best thing to buying more? Going through what I already have. I'm up to 3 full short boxes of magazines. Mainly Creepy, Eerie and Vampirella. But I have a lot of random stuff as well. How many bagged and boarded magazines fit in a short box? Now that I have everything in order I need to update my inventory. One thing I realized is that I really need to cut down on duplicates and concentrate on missing issues. I found I had 4 and 5 copies of some issues. I've also decided to submit some books to CGC in Baltimore. First time submitting for me. Selling some keys I have duplicates for will definitely help out on the buying side and I figured getting them graded is my best bet since I don't trust my own grading. Hopefull I don't submit any stinkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very cool! I have toyed with doing this in the future. Do they send you some sort of receipt so you can expedite your drop off or do you still have to wait in line? I'm also assuming they will be mailing them back to you, not encapsulating during the con, correct? Can you say your predictions for the grades or are you going to wait? Either way congrats and best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 It says i can do express drop off. Yes, mailing back to me. I'm only going for one day. Plus I'm not sure if they do onsite for magazines. Honestly, I'm not really sure on the grades. Which is probably not a good thing. Ultimately these are magazines I want to sell and I figured the best way for me to do that is get them graded. That way I don't have to come up with one myself and worry about someone disagreeing with me. Hopefully it was worth it. For the 5 magazines it cost me $228 with shipping back.

Good going my man, and let me know if you want to sell that Blazing Combat 1. I certainly would be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombat Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 Had a great time at the Baltimore Comic Con. I'm not sure I have ever seen so many magazines at one place. It seems like the majority of dealers had at least one box of them. I decided to go for more scarce / expensive books this year over quantity and to fill in some holes. Very happy to find a cheaper copy of Savage Tales and Vampirella 3. Those were my two big purchases. Was also great to see tons of the older horror mags. The covers are so awesome. chevalmeow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayman Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 @wombat Nicely cut and centered Vampi 3 you got there! What's the grade on the Savage Tales 1? Asking because the staples look similar to how they are on my copy, wearing/indenting under the front cover. Again, nice pickups! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
