I'm kind of back and forth on the grade on this one, but I think what I bought this as is a fair grade. I wanted to press and slab it. You can see from the pics that it's begging for a press. Tales To Astonish 44, 3.5, $450.00

I haven't owned this very long, but I'd rather sell comics than dig into savings to address some medical concerns. Aquaman #1, CGC 4.5, Comes with certificate, $450

Thor #126, CGC 8.5, $350.00

If only there were other options for a dissatisfied consumer....

It looks really sharp. The real question is, why would you consider getting it slabbed? You're not going to get your money back out of it that way.

Moved elsewhere. PM if interested, thanks.

Well deserved.

Hit me up with those offers before I skedaddle this off to eBay.

Is he still a player among the big dealers? The only chatter I really see is whatever is posted here, but largely, I just see his business model ridiculed for crazy pricing and unreliable grading. Is he at SDCC slinging big books?

I do consider taking them out. I'm edging in the direction of just cracking all my slabs. I only have one box of them anyway. I do have some raw comics that are signed, supposedly, by creators. To my exceedingly untrained eye, they look genuine to me, but I don't know. That yellow label is some good comfort for authenticity.

And I have only those two comics for this thread.

You, sir, are a man of defining taste and sincere appreciation for the finer comics in life. And a to boot.

I will confess, I'm really happy to have a Russ Heath and a Nick Cardy SS comic.

A couple of pretty pretties at https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/topic/436919-dc-comics-presents-key-issues/

I bought this DC Comics Presents 47 from a boardie, but I can't recall whom. It does not have the Jeweler's Mark Insert. It's an easy 9.4, maybe 9.6. For a respectable boardie like you, this is $100 shipped with love, care, and a cardboard box mailer. SOLD to a man of rare qualities!

You've seen the trailer. You've had sexy thoughts about Starfire and Raven. But have you read the comic? Get your hands on this super sweet copy that I purchased from Stephen Ritter at Worldwide Comics. I bought it as a 9.2/9.4, and whenever I buy a comic from him where he's split the grade this way, I pick the lower one. Only makes sense, and I agree with the grade. This copy is $210 shipped fast and secure. MOVED ELSEWHERE

Lots of folks crack their slabbed comics, but I've got to think that SS collectors practically never do it. That would indeed be a sign of the end times for them.

My LCS didn’t receive their copies. I’m curious here, too. I’m also curious what you mean by realistic? I’m guessing that some books fetch well below guide, and others well over it?

Asking for a friend?

Newton rings or air pockets? Try inserting an envelope from the side, between the case and well, and sliding it up and down.
