ADAMANTIUM Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 All honesty to grade a modern, you'd probably spend $26 to get it graded... + a little more to ship back... + the cost to you of the book Subtract that from the cost you'd sell it for, check sold listings of estimated grade.... after posting in spare a grade forum.... Weigh profit, work, and budget... All these are things that we can not answer for you based on info so far.... These are the steps if it helps.... @obiedagod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I got it for $30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this book will continue to climb over time, so grading a 7.0 would probably be worth it if you're holding for a while. If you're looking to sell, follow the formula mentioned above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F For Fake Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 My gut reaction on most coppers is that it's not worth subbing for anything under 9.4, and in many cases, 9.6 or 9.8. But this is now considered a "key", I guess, and it remains a hot books. I don't have GPA currently, but browsing closed auctions it looks like at least one 7.0 has sold for $50+. There are a couple of current listings asking $100+. Not sure that they'll get it, but I guess the perception is that it's worth that much to at least a few folks. So, for this particular book, which seems to be continually on the rise, I don't think you'd lose much in the long term if you slabbed it. But at this moment, if you slabbed and sold it, the profit margin may be tight, or negative once you factor in shipping and fees. divad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divad Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Seriously, Heritage has been pushing copies to my watchlist, even though I only have AF #15 on my watchlist . . . So someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revat Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 There's a service called GPA (paid subscription service) that tracks CGC graded comics 'sold' prices. Look up your values, look up your costs, and do your own math. Make sure you include your own profit preferences and selling/shipping costs (including potentially taxes and insurance), and your time.

oakman29 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Anything below 9.6 would be a waste investment wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
