My mind is boggled at the thought of even making an offer.. .. I just have no idea about comic collection negotiations

A wad of cash can be a strong motivator.

[Key comic books] will probably be a better bet than just taking that same money and putting it in a savings account and letting it sit there.

 

Always been my rationale.

To make money through financial institutions, a very L A R G E investment is needed.

It's possible the book was not properly stored after being slabbed. Cgc holders clearly state they won't stop environmental factors. Makes you think of a good backboard and double Mylar provides better protection.

I love the look of mylites2. Add in a piece of microchamber and you're probably good to go.

I do love slabs for the restoration detection though. Also when it comes to resale it seems a CGC slab is a wise investment.

I'll "chip" in on the PQ issue...I think a more specific brittleness designation is a brilliant idea. PQ vs PColor...is it possible to have a WHITE PAGES BRITTLE???!?!?

Triple play!

yeah-- I bought one book I had been waiting to buy for a while (waiting for the extra ebay bucks or a coupon)

Same

The dude abides 

Worked for me + eBay bucks! Nice first post @bmalone

And yes the purchase was a comic

Was on the fence about this one but a little out of range! Awesome cover

How about the best of both worlds?

A few high grade in a run and the rest lower grade??
