What Percent Of Your....

[Fazybones]

Every time I would get slabbed, I would blackout and get thrown in the drunk tank.

 

So..... I

 

I haven't gotten slabbed since the early 90s

 

 

 

 

Did you ever turn into a PLOD?

submitted 1000's myself.

 

bought several hundred on the secondary market.

 

 

I'd say about 70% were my own submissions.

 

 

 

[Detroit MIke]

I'd say about 1 out of every 7.

[thehumantorch]

Out of the 20 slabs I own I have zero submissions. I have to try

a few submissions to test my grading and I still don't have the

confidence in my grading.

 

I think fellow collectors that submit to sell are smart to fuel their

real collecting interests.I wish I had my finances in better shape

to attend a big Comic-con to hold the comics before making

purchases just for submitting purposes.

 

...One day.

 

I'm with you Fazy. Never subbed a book but gonna send in a bunch this year. I've been a raw collector for a long time and never owned a CGC book until I found this place.

...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.

 

I don't own that many books that I've submitted anymore but I've cracked almost all of my personal books.

I currently own four...two I submitted myself (out of a total of 7 sent in over the years) and two bought or received from friends (out of another eight or so I've bought or received)

 

All of the bought books have been unslabbed except for a minor Mile High that I'm not sure if I want to read, and a FF 53 which I'll uncork when I want to reread that series...Still need another 25 or so books before I start my Great Fantastic Four Reread!

I don't know how many slabs I have, no where near 400 that's for sure. I'd say I've purchased about 75% and subbed 25%.

Show-off!

[greggy]

99 of the 223 that I consider part of my personal collection were submitted by me.

 

So it's 44.39%

Now I buy expensive comics saying I'm investing for my daughters college education, but

 

when the time comes, I'll talk them out of attending

or I "give" all my assets (inc my collection) to a friend and apply for financial aid?

 

then of course "find" my books in an undisclosed location... (thumbs u

 

 

 

[Norrin_Radd]

Of the 87 slabs I've owned, 20 were submitted by me.

So it's 44.39%

 

Can you be a bit more specific?

 

[Designer Toast]

I won have one CGC box full of slabs and bought them all slabbed.

[trmoore54]

Most of the books I've had slabbed I have sold...probably about 100 or so...I'm probably down to about 200 slabs, which of the remaining about 10% I have submitted...

 

After I sell my THOR 127-150, I'll be about 20 slabs lighter still...

Have 3 presently on their way pending final payment...

 

[Secret Son]

I have about 50 slabs, 45 I sent in raw.

[Ogami]

I own about ten slabs, none submitted by me.

[General Zod]

I own 75 slabs total. I've submitted 23 myself for a rough 31% rate. More submits are in the making this year.

[KING of JOKERS]

100% purchased slabbed.

 

I enjoy high-grade GA and SA stuff so its hard to find stuff from that era that is in high-grade and unslabbed to begin with .... (when a high-grade book does shows up, I always ask myself the question - why don't this dealer just get it slabbed as he'll get a whole lot more ?).

 

There's the opinion of the grading issue.

 

Plus the risk associated with buying unslabbed, high-grade material and having to worry if it is been 'played' with.

 

So I guest for me, its not worth the hassle if there is a problem.

 

I'm just one that don't like suprises. I get the grade that I am buying.
