Writing on cover will have no impact on that grade point from my experience. The bigger issues are around your corners and edges. I can see it get anything between 6.0-7.0. Grading it would definitely be worthwhile depending on how much you paid for it.

4.0, so an asking price of 200$ should be fine. Selling for higher than that could take a while.

8.0 so worth between 30-50$ depending the day.

impossible to grade without you removing it from the bag

6.5-7.0

9.0

nope, that's the biggest mistake newbies make, raking up their costs. And its perfectly understandable since it is counterintuitive for people not familiar with professional grading. Look up their prices for services on their main website and you will see how different values and different eras are seperated. For each book that fits in a different category, that's a different order.

I'm pretty sure saying that a label without the el cheapo perforations present is as objective a comment as can be.

Cool books, but remember that since those come from different eras and have different values, you will be stuck making several different orders. meaning more costs involved for shipping and the like. So keep the total cost in mind when you are deciding what to send. As for the answer to your question, I feel that if the market value for the slabbed book you get is at least double your total cost (meaning what your book cost, what the cost of slabbing is, shipping both ways), then it's good. I see people saying numbers like 300$ being a cutoff, but an arbitrary cutoff like that is meaningless if you ignore your total cost (granted, they were simply answering your exact question). If a book cost you $250 already and it would be worth $300 slabbed, then grading it is only gonna make you lose money. And when thinking of market value, be conservative on your grading because CGC can be tighter than a puritan girl on her wedding night.

Thanks for this great reply. I am curious about the DC logo mentions. Why is that more collectible now?

I dont really get the demand for those later printings . Yes, they are rarer but they are still subsequent printings. Like the "recent" Batman 89 which has a second and third print. The first print is the priciest and yet it is the largest number of copies produced.

Then just have them witness Nicholas Cage signing it and there you go, Yellow Label on the declaration of independence!

I think he is referring to those giant assault vehicles they use in war

I didn't know stamps went down. Even the collumbus set? Also to answer the question. I do not think the value of rare superhero golden age books will tank, nor the first appearance of popular characters from the silver age. Like I don't think Fantastic Four 5 will ever tank. But other more recent books, or unpopular books people lose interest in maybe. We've already seen it happen. Random example, Superman 184 tanked pretty hard, so has Brave and the Bold 29. For more recent examples, you have Man of Steel 18. I just know those examples because I bought those books within the past year and saw how much they had fallen.

Have the two books fallen in value since the thread began? Looks like it.

I see the sketch, congrats! And yeah, we were all pretty close.

Got some Raboy Fawcetts in the recent Heritage auctions. Prices were fine, I guess these aren't as popular. Both have less than 20 graded copies out there.

I can say the same. If only I held onto some of those GA Detectives I sold 5 years ago, I would have at least doubled my money today.

Won a really nice Captain Marvel Adventures 104 and for 20% off guide. If I get it graded, it would probably be in the top 3 graded copies out there.

Tighter than your mother was last night.

Got some fun keys this week along with other goodies

This just came in

Pretty nice haul this week

Hello and congrats. I like your avatar!
