How would you determin the value of a book if it's the only graded on the census?

The raw book sells for around $200.00 so what would a 9.8 cgc be put on the market for?

Thanks in advance

Maybe you could let us know which book is it, because there s many details to consider... I mean you said that the book is sold for an average price of 200 but you don't say which condition we got for 200$ so I guess it's for an high condition book, so it's probably a modern book, now is it a popular book who have plenty of graded copies or a weird indy book... ?? And we could still ask many more questions... thats Interesting, but I think to go further we need to know which book it is. 

Except if you need to keep the secret 

Considering the age they are I m curious to know which charachters you collected to get so low value data...?

Depends on the book, but that sounds about right for the most part (For example my most recent coverless purchase was a FF#52 for $120, and the GPA on 2.0 is $349), also bought a More Fun Comics #72 (a semi-key; Doctor Fate's new helmet issue) for only $80 and the FMV for that in 2.0 would be around $600 now (though in this case it is a book where the cover is an important part of the book being a key, so in these cases the price would be much lower)

I would suggest also not looking at any OLD price data for coverless books (before 2019 is a good start), as the market for them was much worse than they are now and you could pick up very big key books for even cheaper - outlook on coverless keys has changed so much in the recent years.

Mhhh... this last part of the message make me envious to go on a big book that I seen on ebay one day ago... I think this book is a sleeper anyway so it could be the time to make a good deal!

Yes, I say, with conviction, that tearing off covers is destructive.

Why not buy an inexpensive coverless copy and see how you like it?  You could print a new mint cover for it and wrap it nicely - no staples or tape.

I have more than 1000 books... and do you really think it's an easy business to find coverless 90s stuff? 

It's destructive but plenty of guys make some custom tpb, omni... in a way its killing the books too.

Nope.  You'll only replace obsessing about cover blemishes with obsessing about page quality, shadows, spine splits, staple tears, etc.   

If they are no writing or torned missing piece I don't care... I'm not obsessive in everything's I'm obsessive on specific things

Interesting to discover there’s another autistic boardie here.  The OCD and ADD which can be associated with this creates a lot of stress and lack of impulse control towards condition mania and purchasing. Eventually, I began to interpret this as a vulnerability which needed to be addressed.  During the film speculation boom period I discovered the alternative digital pathway, and this helped me to appreciate the medium even more without the stress of condition chasing, the flavour-of-the moment hyperbole of the back issue market, and the physical and psychological stressors associated with autistic social interactions in convention scenarios. If anything, I can appreciate and delve deeper into the stories and artwork far more now on my tablet than I ever could back when I obsessed about the comic books as sacrosanct objects.

Look into it. It may or may not work for you.

I already read online because many series that i read are connected with some series that i dont want to collect... but as I said I love to have the physical copies with the real paper... but I'm at a point where I cannot enjoy it anymore because I'm focused on the cover and his defects... now my only preoccupation is if it could be considered as destroying the history to pull off the cover... (I will keep the covers don't take me for a madman to the point to throw them out LOL) 

Found an old thread who spoke about coverless value...

What do you think of an average price of 1/3 of the guide value for a 2.0 for coverless books? What would you paid for them? 

JLA #1 (1960) A nice looking low grade copy, missing piece on the top right front corner, missing pieces on the back, lower staple is detached, spine split from bottom to the first staple. The spine is stressed, some color breaks here and there... its all I can say about this book. 

Asking 850 or best offer, I really want to sell it after having totally changed my mind on collecting goals so dont be timid on your offers. Could accept a trade against:

JLA #1 Coverless + cash

Really great book coverless

Large collection of DC 

BE WARNED, Book shipped from Switzerland, it will take long to come to you!!! 

Payment by PayPal only.

If you are just wanting to read comics there are a number of ways to do so, whether paid or free.

I can delve further into that but in private.

The very few I ever read are on my tablet. I never open books. That's just not what I buy them for.

As for a coverless collection, I think I'd rather read them online and buy proper books.  Just less of them.

But that's just me.

 

I read all the books I still not have on digital when I need but for me having the books physically in hands as he was originally printed several decades in the past is just a different thing, I never considered reprinted stuff... and I mean even without a cover is fabulous to have a 40s bat or supes book In your hands...

Please read it entirely and be comprehensive. 

OK so... after 2 years in it i realize that like in almost everything in this life my ocds (linked to my autism) have took over on my capacity to appreciate the hobby  when i started i just wanted to get the books to read them but without surprise it quickly come to a great mistake about the condition, everytime I get new books I need to analyze them to be sure that they re satisfying to my eyes... and by evidence unfortunately plenty of my books still like in an "hesitation area" for weeks and weeks... without cannot take a decision if I'm OK with this freaking copy or if I want to get a better one... speaking about stupid books who worth a dollar or less, it's just a non sense, and put a lot of stress from something which was at the beginning a dream  

I cannot continue to act like that but I would never want to renounce to the hobby because I like to read comics and I like the original brand paper... so I thought to something... I think I'm not gonna be blamed for this considering that I m speaking of totally unvaluable books... what about removing the cover of all my books? Why not even make some custom tpb? And if I'm going into it I will be able to afford books that I would never have had the opportunity to buy with the cover... going to buy directly coverless or max 0.5 if I do not find a coverless. The few of my valuable books could be sold to  replace them by a coverless copy. 

Man I have like a feeling... I'm tired of it, I want to appreciate it for the reason i started, forget all the problems... 

What do you think?

Could it be a great mistake? Or a great decision? 

note: a day I said that I wanted to get all the comics published by dc... I know that It will never happen but at least i could be far more advanced on it with this way  

I always liked the sentence:

"don't judge a book to his cover"

I don't know if you use it in the US? 

J

I know that i probably wrote a lot of sh*t but its just my view and Its ok if your not agree with me, I made it to understand how  the things are.

Well I wanted to share my reflexion as someone far of the business and even further of the Uncle Sam Country, when I started to collect I was only looking for modern/copper stuff... now over the years in slowly going to the silver books and I realize something... any books post 1960 seems to still totally unworthy if not in great condition, I mean any books which isn't a great keys worth less than 10$ if the condition is bad... and next seems to be very volatile, price are constantly making up and down, again and again... 

I have the feeling that the golden age books are the real comics who could be legit in terms of investment, for the popular characters, even the most random issues in bad condition never spawn on the market for less than 100$... other point, when we re going trough golden age you do not find anymore bundle of books, all of them are always sold individually because too valuable. 

What is your opinion? Do you have hope in later stuff or have you the same opinion than me? 

Thanks for your opinion. 

This is an excellent price for a 3.5. 

Just my

Is this Pristine Comics near Tacoma, WA, USA? The dealer with 4 pg. color ads in Overstreet selling sealed early Pokemon boxes and previously sold Action 1 Cgc 8.0 blue that used to be Action 1 8.5 PLOD?

Yes... 

Thanks for noticing buddy

58 dollars seems to be a good price for the condition... should i take?

Nice description too: " good to very good"

I mean some of these books could down from 50$ if they are  good rather than very good...

Is that a mycomicshop bar code? They do grade pretty strictly/harshly by some standards. Is that bottom staple rusty? Is that a tear showing about half way down the rear spine? Any interior rips, staining, etc? As the previous poster mentioned, more/better pics could help, but it does look quite a bit better than a 3.0 to me.

No its from mill high, fortunately for my wallet its not me who have buy it from them  

...To get back to the disscusion, as i know mill high are known to grade their books enough random... some times really higher some times really lower.

You would be surprised how long it can take for some titles and issues in low grade condition to sell, even at a huge markdown to Overstreet prices.  So instead of having a bunch of books without much of a market for them sitting around for years, some people prefer clearing the space and selling in bulk lots.

Well im just looking trough ebay and everytime that any of these books are on auction at least someone place a bid if the price asked is well discounted
