THREAD CLOSED

I find this a very interesting topic. This may actually motivate me to create the blog/video on comic book grading that I've always wanted to do. Graded VS Raw: is there a difference in price? Of course there is. But not always what you may think. As an experienced comic book dealer, I have learned quite a bit about this. I used to under grade my comics and as a result other customers and dealers would buy from me, submit the books and reep the benefits of a higher grade. One dealer used to say, "I love finding your mistakes". I learned my lesson and am very tight on grading now. In those days my raw books should have been priced higher than the CGC equivalents in my advertized grade. The opposite is true as well for over-graded raw books in which the prices are way above CGC accurately graded comics. When I grade a raw comic now, it will be priced based on several factors - one of which is an average sales price on recent stats. But if I have 12 copies of a particular comic, even graded ones, I am more likely to price it lower based on supply. Another factor is what I would call an "almost grade". This is a lot more evident in high grade comics in which the price increase is significant. If I have a CGC book graded 9.2 it actually could be "almost" a 9.4. Since the comics are never rounded up, you can have a low 9.2 and a high 9.2. Since there is no 9.3, there is no way of knowing. But a raw book can be viewed and graded accordingly resulting in significant price differences. For example, if I have a Hulk 181 CGC 9.2 with a few colour breaks in the spine I may also have a raw Hulk 181 in 9.2+ with only a soft corner that would be valued a lot more but not quite a 9.4. Finally, there is a sense of security with a graded comic since it goes through a process. Some collectors/dealers do not like the responsibility of grading and doing restoration checks. There can be hidden defects within a graded comic that a purchaser may never know that would otherwise be observed in a raw comic. As the buyer of a slabbed comic, you accept this possibility. Like I said, a very interesting topic.

Thread updated today. New wall coming soon!

OK - can you send me an email please? moesattic@hotmail.com We can follow-up on this. Thanks Moe

Hi guys: thanks for the kind words! I am responding to the few comments here to clarify a few things. As AJLewandoski pointed out, This thread was initially started and then shut down fairly quick. I did indeed receive responses from several members from the original posting and sold some through PM/emails. The thread/website co-odinator didn't get back to me for several days, so I didn't post or re-post anything for fear of doing something wrong again (I was given a demerit point for the mistake). I kept the same wall when I reposted because I wanted members to see that some of the books from this wall had sold so I wouldn't have to keep replying to "so is the such and such still for sale?". I want to do this right. I like the idea of a wall because it reminds me of the cons that I enjoy doing. Please feel free to message me or email me with any questions as I reply to everyone as best as I can. I send additional photos upon request, explain defects and answer any other questions if I am able. This being said, I will try and clear off the remaining books at 20 % off.
