Popular Post Ladic Posted July 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2018 I regret not doing pressing on any of the comics.

Tec-Tac-Toe Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Does the New Mutants 98 have, at least five fcvr CB spine ticks; your scans are too small to clearly determine such? If so, a press, although perhaps lessening the tick depressions, will, of course, not address the CBs. aardvark88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadleg Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Great job on that ASM #36! That's probably the toughest of them all. Ladic, the authority and FN-2199 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunisherPunisherPunisher Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Awesome stuff...always exciting when you get your books back from CGC Ladic and the authority 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Adam Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Great looking comics and you'll learn as you go. And it's always hard to know which way CGC is going to lean when it comes to spine ticks, there was a NM 98 in the recent grading contest with more ticks than a dog and it ended up a 9.4!

If it's for selling, 90 day is $250, last sale is $340 (!). I sold a ratty 8.0 at Heroes for $232. There's no way anyone would have given me $200 for it raw. That $20 slabbing fee made me a few bucks and made it a whole lot easier to sell.

AnthonyTheAbyss Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Ah, I remember my first submitted slabs. I rummaged through comic book stores looking for high grade copies and gleefully paid the fees for getting it graded and shipped. All came back 1 to 2 grades lower than expected. It was one of the most disappointing moment in my life. No more submitting and hoping for 9.8...I just go buy slabbed 9.8 copies instead ExNihilo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbalroman Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I remember first hearing about CGC at SDCC in 2001. I signed up for an account at their booth and received vouchers to submit. I didn’t submit anything at the show but knew I wanted to send in my Hulk 180-182. I also had no idea how to grade and really just wanted to have the books in a nice display. Granted I could have done this a lot cheaper then sending them off to CGC but it didn’t matter. These books were graded in early 2002 and have been hanging on the wall ever since fullerjason, ExNihilo and ADAMANTIUM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind doing something similar and use museum glass so I can actually display my high end comics without having to worry about fading.

Got the glass and frame from a Hobby Lobby and I made the area that holds the books. ExNihilo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a window in the reflections, so I assume it gets some indirect sunlight, but the colors still appear very nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
