the blob Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 With all of that said, my comic shop basically charges $5 to grade a book and comic connect does the same. what they don't give is a label with the grade you can show or a sealed stiff mylar. one of those comic size card holder thickness mylars, slip the book inside entombed in a mylite and a high quality back (because you don't want to destroy 10% of the books sliding them in) and a holgram type sticker with the name of the comic and grade that will be destroyed if you try to remove it would be sufficient for most books.

I agree that a low end grading company like that could work on the multitude of comics that aren't worth the cost of getting graded. Simple resto check (e.g. see what glows under a black light), quick grade by single grader, into hologram sealed mylite and charge $10. While CGC seems to have a pretty good business on high end comics I don't know that anyone is addressing the comics that aren't even worth $100 graded.

Sweet Lou 14 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 This book just sold at auction. Take a look at the entire top edge and tell me that's even a 9.4 much less a 9.8. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
