    Never collected CGC before - Is there anything I should be on the lookout for? Do fakes/replicas exist?

    in Newbie Comic Collecting Questions

    If you are going to do this often you should consider getting a subscription to GoCollect https://comics.gocollect.com/ and/or GPA,https://comics.gpanalysis.com/  both have records of sales of CGC slabbed comics. GoCollect offers an estimated FMV too. Both offer a monthly or yearly subscription. There is also a site, Comic Value   at https://www.comicsvalue.com/index.php which is free and shows sales of comics both graded and ungraded. I also agree with MPH1964 current assesment:

    No deal.  He has overstated the value by nearly double.  ASM #46 is about $200 at 6.0 and ASM #41 is about $300 at 4.5.  Research online.  As for fakes, well, be careful of slabs that have been cracked open and the comic changed out.  Not sure how often this happens, but there are videos on the internet that show this occasionally occurs.

    Good luck.
