That might be a more interesting story if you leave them the way they are... You're right...not an accurate number. I'd say maybe 50-75 of those are in the new holders. But still...275ish is a lot of money. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No your correct, that was my "quick math" Should have have said at least 2,750, but then you could decide that by 2 = 1,375...Lol 1375 + 2750 = $4,025, so at least that much not including form fees and shipping....

newshane Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) I just checked. It would cost $4859 (reholder fees+ invoice fee + return shipping via UPS ground) to have 275 slabs redone. That's NOT including the cost of shipping them TO the CGC, Not to mention all of the packaging supplies that would be required. So, yeah, I could buy a nice Hulk 181 for the price that it would take to get my run serviced.

Bomber-Bob Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I think that anyone considering submitting all their books for reholder is absolutely crazy. It's a flat out waste of money. Show some fiscal responsibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newshane Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 That being said, I will definitely be sending all of my 9.9s back for reholders...along with some of the more valuable (or flat out awesome) issues in the run. I have quite a few unique books that could warrant the white-glove treatment. But as far as going crazy and having everything done? No way.

namisgr Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Considering that comics look best in mylites with fullbacks, even appearance isn't a completely rational reason to re-holder all of one's slabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a word of caution, unless the case was damaged, I would not send a 9.9 back for a reholder. Too much risk for damage. What if the guy opening it up or the guy doing the encapsulation dings a corner. Sure, it will still have a 9.9 label but it may no longer be a 9.9 book. Also, though I like the look of the books in the new holders, I do not always like the way they are fitted in the inner well. They seem to encapsulate the book snug against an edge with a wedge applying pressure to hold it in place. Often the book looks 'stressed'.

To catch all of the collectors with OCD who just need to have all of their slabs with the exact same labels. And then you get the old cheapo collectors like me who still have their comics bagged in blocks in those old poly bags from 30 to 40+ years ago.

Guardian Comics Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I just had this exact same discussion with a good customer of mine... Yes, it would be a silly idea and for all these random reasons... - cost - there are guys who only collect pre design change slabs - old labels in most cases command more, with an old label white pager being the gold standard of graded comic books - why would you put your comics through the rigours of reholdering? Stress during, shipping, cracking of the slab and encapsulation. - what if your parcel got lost, sure it’s insured but do you wanna collect them all over again? - what are the benefits, you hang them on your wall as art, or in a short box away from the elements? mysterio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
