Surprised to see that dynamic issue on there. Coulda swore I saw it pop up ebay multiple times back when I used to watch for the beaker cover.

Is HA known for slightly overgrading raw books? Just got two graded and one was .5 lower, and the other 1 point lower. -

So we re scammed by DC on the number of pages...

Back in the 90s they used the metric system to count pages. -

Looks like the census is starting to be populated. Most books seem to be landing in the 3.5 range. Highest grade I could find is an 8.5 spicy adventure.

Am I the only one that thinks Vinnie needs faster scanner?

Fast scanners are known to fade the book covers. -
Top ten list of how CGC pulp grading is a good thing! 10. Protects spicy books from drool. 9. Pulps are too fat for the reholder scam. 8. Graded bedsheets can double as floatation devices. 7. Pulp collectors have too much empty space on their bookshelves. 6. Collectors can breath a sigh of relief and give up on finishing runs, as prices explode. 5. Pulp collectors can tell those snooty comic collectors that ours is bigger. 4. 2.0 books can parade as highest graded copies. 3. 2. Bookery will save on ink with new pulp numbering system 1. No more pulp flakes in bed!

I was already thinking of mirroring that 10 or fewer cgc graded comic topic, but making it 1 or fewer 😆

In my limited experience, the benefit would just be for condition when buying a book online. More than a few times I've gotten books with glued on covers, missing pages, water warping etc that was not discernable in the photos nor mentioned in the descriptions. These things don't bother me, but had they been known they would factor in the price I was willing to pay. The old solution was to stick to reputable sellers who you could trust, but I guess this opens up another avenue. Although personally I'd rather pulp grading not be a thing to begin with, as I don't like the idea of the market inflating in price while I'm still collecting books.

Got sort of an answer. They use multiple sources to determine fmv, but wont go into specifics. Honestly i think there is no real way to value a lot of the books, unleas its obvious like a firsr tarzan. It also sounds like the value you declare helps if the book goes missing and insurance gets involved.

Hi, I was wondering how cgc determines the price of a pulp when it comes to submitting to the $400 and below tier or the $1000 tier? With some pulps having not had a public sale on a main market like HA or eBay in years, do you just reference the bookery guide?
-
Yah I just boxed up 4 books to ship out, see how the process goes. I put them all in the lower price tier, but wish they were more clear on how value is determined.

Ditto

Hi Mike, I was curious how you determine value on the books. Do you go by the bookery guide, or look at HA sales? I have a book I bought from a non HA auction a few years ago that hasn't had a HA listing, and am curious how it would be valued in regards to your pricing tiers.
-
How do they determine if a book is high value?

Pulp, paperback and digest pricing resources
waaaghboss replied to johnenock's topic in Pulp Magazines
Then there's Saucy, Spicy's hotter more expensive friend ;) Mycomicshop has a lot of pulps and mags. Prices vary, as they're often set by cosigner. Search then on ebay for easier browsing, but buy off their actual site, every book is like 15% less there.
