    Is It Worth CGCing the Byrne FF Run?

    in Copper Age Comic Books

    Posted · Edited by adampasz

    My short answer would be: No.

    For the longer answer, I recommend thinking about the following questions:

    How are you planning to sell your books?

    How much can you reasonably expect to make at current market prices? FTR, I see 9.8s from this run listed at around $50...

    What is the demand for these books? How long will it take you to sell them?

    Even a pre-screen submission can be costly. Can you objectively screen them yourself and be confident that you are getting 9.8s?

    Since you bought these off the stands, do you have an attachment to them that will make it difficult for you to make objective decisions? (Post some pics in the "Hey, Buddy Can You Spare a Grade" thread, and get feedback as to whether they are 9.8 candidates.)

    If you're planning to press, how much does that add to the overall cost?

    How much profit do you need to make to justify the effort?

    Here's a thought . . . what about topical sales threads for all sellers?

    The main problem with the idea (although it is a good one) is that there are probably more ideas for thread topics than there is room / real estate on the chat forum and I'd worry about too many threads being started initially because the idea was new and it would push individual sellers off the 1st page that are trying to sell their wares.

    I guess if the idea really takes off we can ask for a topical sales thread sub-forum specifically for those types of threads.

    Someone could run a survey each month, and have people vote for what the next thread should be...
