You slabbed what?

[porcupine48]

Just got these beauties back from CGC today!

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love spoiler number two.

Id be proud to own that.

[porcupine48]

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

I agree fully,completely!

One of my pride and joys is my highest graded Thundercats #0 9.9 old label!!!!!

With a press and resub.......

com1cbook....

 

 

oh my. that's just diabolical.

 

Even more diabolical, these are Original Owner books.

And I couldn't be prouder!

 

you sir, are a genius mad scientist....the modern day dr. Frankenstein if i do say so myself....raising those demon children all by yourself...

I quite like that Speedball 1. If this thread had been done in 2005, it’s likely that the same question would’ve been asked about a slabbed Hulk 271. So, things change.

[Hepcat]

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

 

I've seen a few on ebay that I just think what was this person thinking? There's a 3rd printing of Miami Mice #1 someone had the audacity to get graded. I could think of a lot of other books to be slabbed rather than that one!

 

Good thread!

 

 

 

[Hepcat]

about 95% of them

 

Truth. Which is what CGC relies upon to make the bucks.

I've slabbed all the #1 issues of the original Image titles

 

I've also got the books below at CGC. None are terribly valuable, but I love WWII covers and each of these have some significance to me.

 

 

 

 

I also had this guy slabbed. Came back a 6.5.

The pocket guide to China in 6.5!

 

It just may be worth more than some of those Image #1 titles.

 

The war comics I don't see anything crazy about those, they seem vintage and collectible.

 

Thanks for the share though!

+1. I wouldn't pay much more than $30 for it, but I would love a copy in my collection.

[Real Elijah Snow]

Nothing to be ashamed of on that Batman #408. They sell for close to $100. That book has been selling well this year.

 

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:

Because pouches and skinny feet...

If I found any comics that had my hometown featured I'd buy them all. Of course I'm not from a major city.

[com1cbook]

Very cool actually.

Who knows with this one though. Early work by RL.

[GM8]

 

A 2.0 in this has still got to be worth $40-50, no?

 

This would be funnier if it were #97.

Good one! With all those Six Gun Heroes #58 collectors out there, this is bound to skyrocket!

[com1cbook]

Shield your eyes.

^ well at least its a 9.8!
