  1. Sorry I was processing a collection I bought on Saturday. So update on the 12,000 collection. It's impressive- ranging from year 1970-2000. Fortunately, most of the books are already bag and boarded and in order. We agreed upon separating the dollar bin comics/anything of moderate value $50-200$/and big boy books. I will be putting the filler books into either CLZ or Covrprice. I told him it's not worth his time nor mine to grade the filler/ low value stuff. I am grading the ones that I think are worth it. Note, collector bought everything from 50cent to 1 dollar. First box I saw had 3 NM #98 raws that range from 9.4-9.8 with the naked eye....
  2. Hi all, not sure if this is the right place to post this. I have an Iron Man 1 9.0 that has tanning on cover. I'm been consulting a few local pressers and they think they can possibly get the book to 9.2-9.4 easily + conservatively........using the BLED process. Anyone have experience with this? High risk high reward... Graders notes: light tanning cover light wear all corners front cover breaks color
  3. Wow thread blew up. Thanks for the amazing replies. My plan of attack is: see the collection this weekend. Have different tiers of work at different price points: Tier 1 is straight up cataloguing and data entry at price point x Tier 2 is grading, as well as cataloguing at price point y. Wish me luck 🍀
  4. In this case, they are all bag and boarded. It would be to put into a database, assign a grade, separated into Canadian Price Variant/ News Stand
  5. Does anyone have a going rate on how much they would charge? I’m thinking it would be $50/hr or a one time project fee? Thoughts or suggestions?
  6. I've been trying to find a few locally in Canada. However, it seems super hard. None of the dealers seem to have any available. A 9.6 just sold for ~1,000 CAD. Understand there is a movie coming out, anyone know the approximate print run on these? Crazy how Valiant comics are popular again.
  7. Keep buying the books you like! Gotten some great deals lately!
  8. How many grade points do tears bring down the grade? Tiny tear on top where it is not fold completely.
  9. I think this book has high potential thoughts?
  10. Looking for some grades? I think the Spine Tics can be pressable, don't see them as colorbreaking
  11. Don't know if the top left is a manufacturing defect, it look like extra paper so don't know how CGC deals with that. Here are some pics.
  12. One of my babies, thought it would look good graded so hoping you guys can chime in on what it would get.
