Please grade my Green Lantern #76.  Seems to be water damage in top right corner on front cover & top left corner on back cover; no staining inside the book, more slight warping. 

I’m planning to get it pressed & cleaned to help it out a bit. 

Thanks!

But right now, you can decide which you prefer, how you want to value them and what you're willing to pay.  Some like seeing the "pure pencils".  Some like knowing that THIS was the linework that was used for publication. 

This is the part I don't know quite yet...LOL

Thank you everyone for your input & feedback! 

This is very helpful & now I have a much better idea of what to look for when buying interior pages. 

I am thinking of getting into buying original comic art and was searching on eBay for interior pages and I liked a few from this one seller. 

Here is 1 of their eBay listings:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/BATMAN-SUPERMAN-14-pg-18-WOUNDED-BATMAN-IN-BATCAVE-WITH-ALFRED/373001544515?hash=item56d89fe343:g:DUwAAOSwMsJblZkw

I then searched online to see if there were pages for sale for some of the missing pages the eBay seller did not have/was not selling.  I found this site and the same interior page was for sale on this site?

https://www.comicartshop.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Order=Date&Piece=1241679&GSub=168430&GCat=94774

What is the difference between the 2 pages for sale? Which one is the original art interior page and is one a reproduction(?)

Can someone please educate me?  Thank you in advance as I am still learning.

Those two on the table got a "left forearm quick press"

I've been watching some of the CGC Instagram videos...man, he is rough with the comics 

Very pleased with the quick turnaround though...

Excellent buyer!  Very quick payment & outstanding communication!  Responds quickly to messages.

Please leave any buying or selling feedback!  Thank you!

Negative.  

I should be expecting my books around Christmas time though.

I got my AMS 300 pressed & graded this past spring & came back a 9.2.  Now I want to send this same book back & get Todd to sign it.

Since I was happy with the 9.2 grade and would like to get the same grade, is it overkill to think about getting it pressed again (and save $20)?  I'm concerned the people handling my book after CGC cracks the case will cause the grade to decrease.

Also, is it not good to get a comic pressed multiple times, especially in a relatively short amount of time?

Anyone know if I can pay for this with a Visa gift card?

I just called CGC customer service & you cannot use a Visa gift card to pay for the McFarlane signatures.

(in case anyone else wanted to know)

Anyone know if I can pay for this with a Visa gift card?

I went on Sunday and it was a good time.  You are right about the event being a celebrity heavy convention. 

However, I was able to meet Neal Adams & Michael Zeck & had some comics signed (btw - talking with Mike Zeck was awesome - great guy).  I felt like the celebrities/artists were more accessible & engaging than previous conventions I attended (ie Boston).

Thanks everyone for your input & feedback!

Some additional info...I ended up getting this issue 10+ years ago as part of a Batman collection of about 100 comics for $10 so there is very, very little financial investment.  

I hadn't thought about cracking my 8.0 and getting it signed.  I would be bothered if it did grade lower than an 8

I have a Batman 251 which is in not great condition (see pics), but it is my favorite!  I'm thinking of getting this pressed & then having Neal Adams sign it next time he is around, then possibly submitting it to CGC.  I currently own a Batman 251 CGC 8.0

Should I bother/is it worth it getting this pressed & cleaned?  What additional value would I get from this b/c it is in not great condition?  Should I just get Neal Adams's signature & be happy with it?

Feedback greatly appreciated!

Bought a Batman 171 CGC 7.0 from Bob (misterrmystery).  Shipped incredibly fast & packaging was phenomenal!  Hope to buy from again!

Thank guys for your responses...some great advice.  

I will attempt to wait to buy meanwhile continuing to look on eBay.

So i have a few questions...

I have a beat up copy of Batman #251 (my favorite cover) which is probably in 2.5 to 3.5 condition.   So my 1st question is, should I spend the money to get it graded?

Second question, if I wanted to upgrade my copy, how much would I be spending (on average) for a 7.5 or 8.0 graded Batman 251?  

Third & last question, does anyone have any for sale?  If so, how much?

Thanks in advance
