Does anyone here BUY green labels.

[shadroch]

In the thread about the qualified AF15, several of you were quite adament in defending the grade assigned.

I have several books that would seem ideal for this label and am wondering how the market is for them.

Books include

Hulk 181-no MVS

flash 123,128,129-flash logo cut from letters page

JIM 9?- coupon cut out

Another early Thor with the MMS coupon filled out but not cut.

These books would all be at least 8.5 IMO without these one defects.

Any estimates on what they would bring?

My personal view is to sell them raw if you want to sell them. When you sell to a CGC buyer, I think you diminish the potential value with anything other than the Universal grade. A raw buyer IMO is more willing to accept a missing coupon (assuming it doesn't affect a story panel of course) if the rest of the book is in good shape. I personally would buy a CGC Q label and crack the slab if the price was enough under market or under guide.

I wouldn't buy something common like a Hulk 181 or something. But perhaps a major key from the G.A. or something..

I have a couple. A cgc 9.6 Tales to astonish 93 - got the green cause it has 2 small pieces of tape on centerfold! And a 9.2 Marvel feature 1 - because it was signed on the cover by Roy Thomas! I guess that is not part of the verified signature series manure they are pushing.

Were they slabbed or raw when you bought them? I am trying to find peoplewho buy/bought green labels and what % of guide they paid.

[clobberintime]

They were slabbed - the 9.6 Tales came from metropolis and I paid under $200. If you ever found a blue label 9.6 Tales/Astonish 93 I bet it would be at least $800. So maybe you could figure 25% value of the "normal" price. But it is one of the best bargains I have ever had - it looks perfect and has no restoration, just 2 tiny pieces of tape that I will never see.

Thanks.

I'm getting the impression that green and purple labels are interchangable.

[Darthdiesel]

Don't feel that way. ALl signed books (non Yellow label sig series) are qualified, like the DFs and Jay Company remarkeds...or any thing you got signed ON THE COVER at a con, would be slabbed qualified

I bought my first green label from Darth...Gi Joe Con Exclusive with headsketch and 3 signatures.

"Does anyone here BUY green labels?"

 

Only if it was a major key that I couldn't afford the $1000s for a blue label.

AF15, FF1 etc...

i buy a lot of green labeled 9.8s as long as they are just signed and that is the reason for green.i would still rather have a green for one defect like a little tape or something than the PLOD
