Gmcd198 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I pulled a bunch of my comics that may or may not be worth getting graded. I just took a few group shots of some. Are there any that definitely should be slabbed or are most not worth it? I’d love to be able to have most graded but it’s not in my budget.

Funnybooks Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 How comfortable are you with grading raw books? The "better" the condition of the book, the more it may make sense to slab for the purposes of selling..especially the "keys". If it's for your personal collection with no intent to sell, keep them raw as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OuterboroGuy Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 There is no point in slabbing anything unless you intend to sell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) Really depends on the grade, hard to see but if they are above VF I would start by slabbing the GL 76, 85 Hulk 180, 181, Bats 232, and New Gods 1. But before anything and I would first learn a bit about grading and think about what means more, the money, or the book.

Kevin76 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I'd slab them all but that's me greggy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DedalusMan Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I like slabbing anything that's worth $500+ on the market, for preservation and investment purposes. There's really no other way to be sure what your valuable issues are actually worth, e.g. for insurance purposes. Also, as a collector, wouldn't you want to know if your key issue is a 9.8 vs. a 9.6 or less? Skunkboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the blob Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 On several of those you really need to be sure they are 9.6 to be worth it, some of them 9.8. others are more no brainers just looking at distance scans and figuring they are above 7.0 like the Hulk 181, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hey Kids, Comics! Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Start with the 181 and see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterX Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I wouldn't bother slabbing the Shadow, Inhumans, most of the Green Lanterns, Morbius, Howard the Duck, OMAC, Sandman. If you're planning to sell, I suggest submitting the Eternals pretty soon, because prices will most likely go down after the movie comes out.
