You slabbed what?

[GM8]

great thread idea....

 

anyone have pics of slabs where the book is worth less than the cost to slab it?

 

That's probably over 90% of what you see on the census.

 

If you want cringe-worthy, bottom-of-the-barrel, dollar bin rejects that no one with any self-respect would ever submit, I have some for you, especially for you Speedball aficionados out there:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Those are awesome

 

+1. Wait, the New Warriors #27 is signed though.

In the sea of $1 bin fodder there is salvation. An unblemished book rescued from a junk box now preserved in its perfect state. There is beauty in transubstantiating this scorned, hated, worthless drek into something fine and desirable.

THIS IS NOT A CGC SLABBING...

What comic have you seen slabbed (or can admit to doing yourself!) that was an absolutely nonsensical decision?

Bubble Funnies ASM #1.

 

And admit to both "absolutely nonsensical" and "doing it myself".

Some of my encapsulated gems:

This one I slabbed purely as a preservation project since I love the cover. And yes, that says BRITTLE pages. Also, it was free, so...

 

I thought this one was the first appearance of Jason Todd.

 

And some comics I had graded or bought slabbed just because they said "Pittsburgh" on them:

Y'all on this thread are exactly the kind of people I'd love to hang out with. I've got some pretty awful slabs. All I need to do is to find them and scan them ...

[Michelangelo]

i love these. keep 'em coming

Batman 408...wouldn't be as funny if you didn't own up to the mistake!

 

And why would things with Pittsburgh be slab-worthy? Not to say anything bad about the 3-rivers area....love that town.

needed a 15th book to submit and grabbed my usagi yojimbo 1 since it was nm/m ..figured it was worth a couple hundred. Just read my CGC verification notes and I guess theres a second print worth about 2 dollars and it says second print in big letters on the back cover. never noticed ..hence my user name..

 

[roscoPcoltrane]

oops..sorry..my other user name..alittleslow121...yet another prime example of my ADHD

[slym2none]

I slabbed a modern. Don't tell certain people!

Someone should break the news to these guys that it's not.

That's my point. Nothing with Pittsburgh is necessarily slab-worthy, but it's where I live and if I can get a 9.6/9.8 or buy it stabbed at a good price, then I will.

Just got these beauties back from CGC today!

I hope you are sitting down before you expand the "spoiler" buttons. Honestly.

Even more diabolical, these are Original Owner books.

And I couldn't be prouder!
