Sent this in a bit back when I got to meet Bruce Campbell. I was hoping for a 9.8 (arnt we all?) But a 9.4 is still pretty awesome!

So while organizing my comics I came across a old relic for pricing an catalouging. Anyone else have one if their own sitting around? Posting pics of my two.

About the only thing that I miss from the 90's influx was the Comic Cards themselves. I still have a few, its a shame that they flooded the market the way they did.

They look awesome, though as a coin collector and a comic collector, I don't feel comfortable with the mixing of precious metals. I get that irky feeling as someone stated above. If it were more reasonably priced I would purchase it as a novelty but not necessarily a collectors item. $300 is a bit over priced for 1 oz of silver even it if it comic book shaped. I have silver coins from the roman era that were of less cost than these and those are considered antiquities which will gain value. 50-100 I would buy one, but with 300 you could try and get a semi-key or key, depending on which comics you follow, an have a better chance of the value going up. Just my opinion though.

I may have to check out CLZ, see how it work and compare. After reading the comments I went back to CG and noticed they do have a Condition fill in spot as well, which will be pretty awesome to use, I can note down what grade my CGC copies are. I'll have to do some more exploring on the app, I am sure I haven't seen all the functions lol.

Which do you prefer or use? Pros? Cons? Likes and Or Dislikes? I am using Comic Geeks for the Droid, so far it has been a good experience. I've only had 1-2 issues while using their bar code scanner, it will not pick up properly but after typing in the comic I am trying to add to my collection, located and added. The scanner feature is nice as it tends to add it to my collection right away. I like that the comics that I have added, come complete with variants. So you can add the variant to your collection. That being said, some are missing variant covers. You can also view other peoples collections in the community, follow people or have followers. I have yet to see a monthly fee or any kind of fee really. Variants I could not locate were for Zenescope Gwenom VH v.s. The Werewolf 3 ECCC 1/350 Pros: Free so far Community to follow or for followers. Tons of comics to add Scanner auto adds to collection Variants Reviews and possible discussions Synopsis of some of the comics. Cons: May not be free, may not have hit the cap for adding to collection Scanner can be buggy/ manual search tends to find them Missing some variants for issues, listed above. Possibility of 2 or more Category splits, Key example, Spider-Gwen Had 2 Categories, 1 only contained issues 1-5? or 6...while the other contained all current and up to date.

This is a impressive haul but god the organization is killing my OCD.....@.@

I'd recommend reading up on how CGC grades and what they look for. Ive been trying to practice in the PGM/Please Grade My Forum, seeing what is posted then trying to get a est for myself before viewing what other more experienced graders have to say. I will admit I do not have it down fully but I have gained a bit of knowledge from looking on there.

So below is a Spiderman / Venom #375 issue, I picked several up at a thrift store because they were super cheap and had like 3 copies. I was looking at them because I want to send at least one to get graded but then I noticed this. There appears to be clamping cuts at the bottom, this is all 3 comics. Is this normal? Or damage caused by previous owner? Will it affect grading? Thanks ahead of time.

I was super excited when I saw them all, the lady at the register looked at me weird and asked if I wanted the duplicates as well lol. They of course have just a bit of wear on some, but others look NM. Was really happy to see a first appearance of rogue, apocalypse and a set of the Carnage series.

So I decided to stop by a Goodwill while out and about and came across a small collection if comics. They were all priced $1-$2 so yes I bought them all. I'm thinking it was someone cleaning out their attic or their kids stuff without knowing.

One shop in my area didnt really close down but they did move and cut down the space from what they were. That is just one though, there are still plenty of other shops about but theyre few and far between, which is why I think they have survived so long. About 20 years ago when I was in my teens, shops were everywhere around here, not so much anymore and I think that due to so many being in one general area that the buyers were split between all the stores.

To be fair, ive been to several cons and that one time is the only time iv'e really seen it first hand. Which kind of threw me for a loop, new exp, I can only assume maybe he was having a bad day or w/e. that too! Also thank you for the welcome

While the condition does matter, just more curious of others had exp things like that and how it was handled. I don't mind waiting for someone to bust the comic out so I can see, more than likely Ill buy it as im already interested to that degree. Just was wondering if it was a somewhat of a common thing to have requests like that refused entirely.
