OMG. That's so amazing -
Read the old price guides (Overstreet) and fandom mags newspapers so on. Read them till the pages start falling out.. Nothing like old school learning. Trust me.The satisfaction is much greater than staring in a screen.

Cracking open an old CGC slab
ablue replied to migmtl76's topic in Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
This is a great avenue to take. Old CGC blue grades are awsome as most were not pressed or cleaned. Unfortunately majority see comics as $$ signs and will do whatever to increase their investment. Me my glory days of a teen in the 80s exploring the golden age was amazing. Just finding that rare issue and looking at it in awe was truly awsome but I have to admit I also saw the $$ potential way back lol. So I'm a hypocrite lol. Yes you did good find more and that's where you will find untapped findings still . Best of luck! And added by jokiing and MagicMan_2017 this was excellent advice getting graders notes.

Sold same X-Men #1 in ebay. For around 2k and change. Buyer said well this and that and will submit to CGC. Well of course got a raving review as it came back to him as a 7.5 CGC blue lol. If he still has it I'm Sure he is very happy. Cheers

"... the prejudices people feel about each other disappear when they get to know each other." I don't know of your "God" he may have come after my time -
When I first came on I realized that there was a huge misconseption between restored and preserved. Of course the rest is history but I did find out that if you invade a group that has it's mind set at one thing you have to be the one to step up and take the shots as it's inevitable. No one ever changed anything without intervention.

ablue replied to flipper112's topic in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions
I would invest in old label cgc grades . Back in the day pressing and cleaning were regarded as a no no but now there is a treasure trove of grades that were strictly graded that can turn into a grade or 2 more if conventional measures are taken which are accepted now
