Ask him the reason why he did not submit the book to get CGC'd, or look around to see if you see other books that are certified. The book may of failed the prescreen so he is selling it raw for a higher price because he knows the value is 9.8 or bust, so thats his way of maximizing his sales.

No because its not graded, its just another nice raw copy. If its a 9.6 than its worth around $50.00. If he really thought it was that nice, he would just submit it himself and make an additional profit.

Great deal on the Platinum!!

The first comic I remember buying new on the rack back in 1981. My original copy is a little rough. I hunted this gem down at San Diego this year, I believe it was the A-1 comics booth. Got it signed in NY last month, just got back today. Its a keeper for me.

vf-nm, so I requested a big scan.

Bought this raw on Ebay. One little spine stress by that lower staple keeps from higher grade. I think the centering is excellent, the green is very deep on this book also.

If you look at the big collectable picture of all toys and include comics for GI Joe, than all X-Men comics includes toys. Which one has a bigger fan base? Could be a toss up.

If your goal is to just read old comics, I may suggest buying coverless comics? That way you can still enjoy the story yet you do not have to spend much. Keep the CGC stuff with other more advanced collectors.

You do not want to submit comics that normaly sell for a few dollars. You would want to submit like a Near mint condition Wolverine #1 mini series from 1982. Not Wolverine #85 from 1992.

That Crow book is awesome!! Great job!!

Here is a choice sample of some recently graded books. Miracleman all in 9.8, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 14,and 3-D Fantastic Four 230 in 9.8 Simpsons #1 my first 10.00, Yes its a ten! Nice batch of stuff picked up in Philly.

Did anyone notice Overstreets comments on Copper Age. "Many of those predisposed to dismiss Bronze Age comics will doubly miss out on the growth of this market sector." In other words, some old time dealers will just say those comics will never be worth anything. Guess what, many are increasing in value higher than any other age when certified in 9.8. Its gonna be a fun ride, will see where we end up in 2010.

I'm in the wrong link, newbee
