Would you open this?

[JvR11]

Should I open this and slab the Lois and Superboy? Or, is it better to keep them in the package. The middle comic is Inferior 5 last issue. I don't think the middle comic is worth much. I bought it mainly for the Lois.

 

Also, is this a "warehouse find" or actually still be wrapped from the 70's? I'm thinking it's not a warehouse find.

Cant tell what they look like from the pictures. But if the are nice, why not.

 

I also have NO idea what they are worth bagged..

Unless you're sure the books will grade 9.8 or higher it's probably not worth it to slab them. The nostalgic factor of keeping them in the bag is much greater to me than the $$ value of slabbing them.

Yup, I would leave them as is.

I would not open them.

I heart bagged comics.

I would think the sealed bag would be scarce.I would leave it sealed.

I know its hard for anyone collecting comics currently, who didn't in the late seventies, early eighties to appreciate this, but when I was a little whippersnapper, the weekly trip to TG&Y or FRED'S was a big hairy deal. And on those occasions, if I was fortunate enough to have 1 or 2 dollars, I could buy 2 or 3 packs of bagged comics! The trick was to make sure you weren't buying the same ones in different bags, so you had to remember what you had, and also had to learn to bend the outer books to see the middle book!

 

good times.

 

I still have all those old duck and warner books.

[ShieldAgent]

the bagged DC whitmans bring out some cash on ebay too.

 

sometimes I have wondered it it was possible to aquire the entire DC Whitman run in original bags.........if so, I doubt I could afford it.

[greggy]

That particular multipack along with a few others started showing up on eBay in 2002 from a seller in Ohio.

 

It may not have been a warehouse find per se but the seller had lots.

 

I personally have 2 of this particular pack.

what I still find absurd is the whopping discount these 3-fers offerred! A much better deal to just pick out 3 comics yo WANT THAN GET WHAT THEY GIVE YOU TO SAVE A PENNY. Even back then a penny was NOTHING TO FIGHT OVER.

the way I remember it, especially as it concerns the funny books, is that this was the only way you could buy them (locally, I'm not saying everywhere). I also remember them being cheaper in the bag than by the piece, so, I'm sure a different format.

[Duffman_Comics]

This has come up before Linky Dink and usually divides into two camps - those that want to preserve the bagged books as-is and those that maintain the books are being damaged in the "old" bags,

 

Mine are still in there after more than forty years.

AS IS!!!!!!!!

Can I see a scan of the Inferior 5 comic ...

Here is a gorgeous copy of an early Scooby......I plan on keeping it in the bag as long as I own it....which has already been about 20 years. The nostalgia factor is hard to beat.

I would keep them in the bag
