Which ones to have signed and graded 0

[nmanoim]

Hi guys,

So I want to have a big amount of comic books signed and graded, but as a student I cannot afford to be greedy. Which of the following books do you suggest I should have graded? Regarding value post sig. Grades will be probably 8.5 or higher for most. If you had to pick 4, which ones?

Detective Comics #880 (will be signed by Jock and Snyder)

Wolverine #100 (by Larry Hama and Adam Kubert)

New Mutants #1 (by Claremont and McLeod)

New Mutants #26 (by Claremont, and if he’ll be there then Bill Sienkiewicz)

X-Force #1 (1991. By Liefield and Nicieza)

Uncanny X-Men #195 (by Claremont and Romita Jr., and if he’ll be there then Sienkiewicz)

Fantastic Four #398 (by Tom DeFalco)

Dark Days: The Forge/The Casting #1 - Director’s Cut (by Snyder, Tynion IV, Jim Lee, Andy Kubert, Romita Jr. - will probably get 8.0 or 8.5 due to its condition).

 

And thanks

I am not familiar with any of those books, just a reminder though...

Be sure the signing is witnessed by a CGC rep and you follow the proper chain of custody with CGC or the signature will not be verified as authentic.

As was said, if these were not witnessed by CGC they will not come back as authentic signatures. They are not rare or high end books. I wouldn't waste your money. Just keep them in Mylar and enjoy them...

Thanks. So none of them is worth slabbing? I saw Detective Comics #880 being sold for 1000$ in eBay when 9.8. I guessed it would be worth *something* at a lower grade. Oh and I just realized I wrote 800 before instead of 880, so gonna edit it.

Of course it's worth something in a lower grade (Det 880) but most people are looking for very high grade slabbed modern books IMO. So u also have to take demand into account for common lower grade books. U can go to eBay and see how many books at a certain grade sold vs how many didn't. 

 Figure out your total costs for slab/ship/insurance/etc vs what u think u can get for it and determine if the risk is worth ur  time & invested money.

Oh and good luck in school!

Unless they're 9.6+, then none.
