What Percent Of Your....

[nik]

...slabbed books did you submit personally as opposed to buying already slabbed?

 

Also, numbers would be great.

 

 

I'll start.

 

 

Out of the 400 slabs I currently own, almost 90% were submitted by me raw.

[Ringfinger]

0. I have none.

[Genesis Comics]

I currently own 60 slabs...out of than number 9 were submitted by me and the other 51 were bought slabbed. I mainly collect pedigree books, so most of the books I slab are for re-sale to purchase the peds... (thumbs u

[BlowUpTheMoon]

Out of about 350 slabs it's 50/50 just because of the X-men 141 - 450 thing I've been trying to finish.

[TheAvenger80]

I own 1 slab (actually in the mail) and I didn't submit it, so...

 

0% of my slabs submitted by myself

[kc120us]

I'd say I bought about 80% of my current collection slabbed.

[ashrael]

0%

[nik]

0% as in you do not own any slabs?

[MstrTech]

98% purchased slabed

[G.A.tor]

I have submitted over 500 GA books to be slabbed...and probably purchased another 200 already slabbed..

so 5 out of 7

[Loki]

Only 20% of the slabs in my collection come from my own submissions.

 

I find it far easier to obtain books in the grade I want by buying them already slabbed. My luck with getting accurately graded raw books, particularly from eBay, has been pretty poor so I've given up on raw purchases almost entirely.

[BeachBum]

I'd say about 75% at the moment, and steadily climbing. I'm submittimg more raw books than ever.

[Shark]

I'd say I've personally submitted about 75-80% of the 260-270 slabs I now have in my possession.

[Jeffro.]

I own between 15 and 20 and have submitted 5 myself.

[Senormac]

0 % ......I have none and the slabbing process does not encourage me. I really like to deal with people in person so.....if CGC is gonna be at San Diego.....I am planning on giving them my first submissions and see how it goes. Submitting a modern age book to me is like ZERO risk......but submitting a GA book is like BIG RISK.......

[Guardian Comics]

Nik: All my slabs have been purchased that way.

 

Jim

[Flaming_Telepath]

423 slabbed books.

 

All of them bought.

 

My raw books I sell to others for them to get slabbed.

In explanation, I know I'm leaving a chunk of change on the table with this approach, but the slabbing process from the UK is a costly business, with shipping/insurance costing an arm and a leg before you even consider the grading fees.

You need a person from the US as a go to guy. Have him slab your books and hold on to them for you

replace "Uk" with "Europe" and the shoe fits for me as well.

 

I've bought about 300 slabs, less than 5% is still slabbed and I've only submitted 1 book to CGC (using a coupon I won when we still had the weekly CGC board trivia competition )
