Bosco685 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I have a good reason for asking. I have a few NM+ copies of X-Men #221 and X-Men #239 (Mister Sinister on cover). I remember when you talked about picking up that collection, and all the 9.8's that came out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shark Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I have a good reason for asking. I have a few NM+ copies of X-Men #221 and X-Men #239 (Mister Sinister on cover). I remember when you talked about picking up that collection, and all the 9.8's that came out of it. Are those price tags on the 221s? What were they going for? No...they're not price tags. I got into the habit of placing 2 (or more) stickers on the top front of each bag. I've been doing this for over 10 years now. On the 1st sticker I state the issue number and year of publication. Why? Many of the old Gold Key and Whitman comics did not state an issue number on the front cover. You had to look inside to get the issue number. And I like stating the year of publication on the front also. It helps me to sort out Modern books from Economy books when submitting books to CGC. On the 2nd sticker I state the grade and asking price. I'll add more stickers for things like 1st appearances, whether a Marvel value stamp is intact or not or special notes to myself like a cover loose from one staple, centerfold loose, cutout or missing pages, etc. When I first started doing this, I was dumb enough to leave the comic in the bag when I wrote on the stickers. This caused an indentation on the front cover of the book that a few people griped about. I had to learn the hard way. No mas....no mas. And on average, I think I paid about 10 cents each for these books about 6-7 years ago. They came out of a shop in Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good system - and one that probably takes a lot of time. If only more sellers were as helpful. I don't sell at conventions, but I write the grade and comments in pencil on the back of the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took these pictures right after I bought the books 6-7 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kaptain Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 The stickers will leave dents on the front covers..... No, they don't. I have re-bagged a few books that I bought at cons that had stickers on the bags and sometimes the stickers do leave marks on the books inside. You might only be able to see the mark if you hold the book at a certain angle or in a certain light. It also probably depends on the thickness of the bag and how tightly the books were packed in a box, and for how long, etc, etc, but it can happen.

That's why I never use stickers for anything and immediately rebag anything with one. Sometimes the dent is extremely deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a doubt stickers will leave impressions over time depending on the way the book is stored. Even the flap of a bag could leave an impression if stored too tightly together.

It's rather annoying buying a book and seeing an impression. As mentioned they are sometimes not obvious and can only be seen from an angle but it happens.
