is It worth the $15 to get my wristband shipped to me? thanks, jeff

Growing up in the 70s, FF1 was the book to have. I always wanted one, but I was a kid, and could never afford it. I am happy to see this book finally rising in price as collectors realize its true importance.

I guess it depends if a potential buyer wants a book that looks like a higher grade with a minor interior defect.

Kind of what I thought when I purchased the book. It has terrific eye appeal. Thanks!

The graders noted only stated: "Interior Piece Out". Thank you for the compliment on the book!!

Thank you for the information! I love the book and appreciate your reply!

Thanks for the compliment. It is a beautiful book. I thought about the notation on the label when I bought it but the presentation of the book was so nice that I had to have it!

I am not sure on that but since it is blue label I would think the grade reflects the piece missing but do not know for sure.

Here is mine. I have another thread in the general section on this book as I was wondering if the blue label notation of "small piece out of margin of last page" hurts the value of the book even though this defect was accounted for in assigining this book a 7.0 grade. It would probably have been an 8.0 to 8.5 without that interior defect in the page. Any thoughts? Thanks!!

I agree, I would rather have no notion on the label but since the book looks like at least an 8.0 to 8.5 I couldn't resist buying it as the page defect will never be seen as long as the book is in the slab. The defect n the page must have reduced the grade by at least 1 point. It looks nicer than virtually all 7.0s that I have seen. I attached a picture of the book so you can see the label and the book. Thanks for your thoughts!

Any other thoughts on if this book is worth the same as 7.0 without the missing piece notation on the label as the missing piece is accounted for in the grade? Thanks!

Thanks..I used to call for free a few years ago. It is not that spending the $15 on the graders notes is what is bothering me. It is the fact that the graders notes had basically no information.

Hi everyone, I have a question about graders notes. Today, I purchased graders notes on a Journey Into Mystery #83 that I own. It is a blue label 7.0 with the notation "small piece out of margin of last page" on the label. I purchased the graders notes to obtain additional information about this piece such as its size, location, etc. The notes stated the following: Interior Piece Out" and "Left Top Back Cover Medium Light Crease". I paid $15 for these notes and they told me nothing I did not already know. I feel like I was ripped off as this information is not worth the $15 I paid and was basically useless. I own over 300 CGC certified books and this is a definite disappointment. I emailed this to CGC to see if I can obtain a refund of the $15 I paid as the blue label actually had more detail about the missing piece than the graders notes did. Since the piece missing was accounted for in the 7.0 universal blue label, would this book have the same value as a 7.0 without the missing piece notation? The book is beautiful and would probably be an 8.5 without the missing piece. Thanks for your help, Jeff

Thanks....cause some of the books I plan to sell are not cheap books and I want the buyers to be perfectly satisfied! I want to thank everyone here who replied to my post so quickly and for the helpful advice! Jeff

Thank you!! Any problems with slabs cracking?

Is it a USPS 1097 inside of a USPS 1092 Priority box?

That's what I remember reading..hopefully someone will know the numbers so I can order them from the USPS. Any idea what it costs to ship a CGC slab packed in 2 priority boxes?

Thank you....I did manage to finally find that when I searched but aren't there two USPS priority boxes that can be ordered and one placed inside the other for safe shipping?

Hi everyone, I have been on the boards for a long time, post occasionally, and have purchased several books on here. I am considering starting to sell my mostly silver-age collection of certified comics and remember reading on here the best way to package and ship them. I searched the forums but could not find the posts I remember about double boxing them in 2 USPS priority boxes. I would like to order those boxes from the USPS and was wondering if anyone can tell me the best way to package them. I appreciate any help! Thanks, jeff

I saw this morning that GPA was updated to reflect the sales of the CGC Spidermans. Guess it took about 2 days.

Of the first 10, about half are in cgc holders. I was just wondering how long it will take gpa to reflect those sales.

When will gpa be updated to reflect these sales?

AF15 is one book. I am mostly talking about silver age marvel runs....I collect mostly 7.0 to 9.4 silver age Marvels..most titles up to around issue 50 or so and the majority of these books in these grades compare pretty favorably to GPA.
