9.8 SIs and Playboys are going to be much harder than comics. That is just my opinion.

No doubt.

 

I wouldn't mind having a copy of the SI when MJ returned (wearing 45).

[User 01001010]

will they consider the books complete without the sub postcards? not the loose ones, but the ones bound into the spine that is the size of a full page?

 

just a question

[marvelcollector]

That makes no sense. Playboys are meant to be read.

 

 

So are comic books.

Oh, 100% accurate, this should be interesting however. I'd hypothesize that roughly 75% of BOTH these mags were subscriptions, and sent through the mail. Even those that were purchased off the news stand are likely to be far from NM grades.

 

However, are we assuming these mags will be graded by the same 10 pt scale that comic books are? Will there be a more liberal approach to grading these? Will an attached centerfold garner a higher grade than a centerfold that was taken out, but replaced? How about the American versions? will they be more valued than the european versions? noted as such? ect..?

[nocutename]

What about Playgirls

[User 01001010]

What about Playgirls

 

that can be found here... the dirty little thread

[Beau]

What about Playgirls

 

If it's the same size/format I can't imagine why not. Now there's an incentive to stay on your boss' good side if I ever saw one (assuming you're a straight male). "Jenkins, this is the third time this month you've been late for work! You're on pecker checking duty for the next month. Make sure to use the 10x loupe!"

What leads you to believe there are not vast numbers of uncirculated copies like there are for other magazines?

Well, nothing, it's of course possible, but I don't know...they might just burn the boatload of such, I mean, talk about a piling up of pulp That would seem to be expensive, and expansive, to have to STORE such items for years and years.

 

I'd have to believe there are some, but an abundance of them? i'd guess not...perhaps i'm wrong either way, I don't believe there are going to be many issues of either brand that will garner major $$$

 

I think these are collected more for the CONTENT then they are for a hobby of high grade desire. Add to that thought, I don't believe there will be much 'nostalgia' in this grading genre, its material most of us engage later in their lives, for reasons different than collecting...but hey, perhaps i' ll be wrong again.

[Beau]

There won't be much 'nostalgia' in this grading area, its material most engage later in their lives, but hey, perhaps i' ll be wrong again.

 

I dunno, I'd pay a pretty penny for a HG copy of the first porn mag I ever eyeballed.

 

First person to use strikeout on the word eye to 'fix it for me' gets pimp slapped.

[Bomber-Bob]

Seriously, I am going to submit some Playboys soon. I predict there will be a big market for HG copies !!!

[AtlasFan]

Question: can one submit ANY article-based magazine now -- or is there a list of acceptible books? I was under the impression that only comic related magazines (Mad, Creepy, Famous Monsters, fanzines, etc) were part of their business model.

 

Can I submit National Geographic, TV Guide or Ladies Home Journal?

 

Also, I got a large stash of crisp HUSTLERS that are not doing anything in the back of my closet...

 

 

[trmoore54]

WOW...whoda thunk it...sold like 6 years (aprox. 1984-1990) of Playboys a couple of years ago, mostly VF-NM condition for like $175...

The Collectors Society article notes that "CGC’s certification services include a comprehensive restoration detection and evaluation for condition on the ten-point CGC grading scale, with 10 being the highest grade assigned." I had never even considered that people might restore magazines the way they do comics, to be honest.

The article suggests other magazines will be acceptable eventually: "The list of magazine titles eligible for certification by CGC Magazines will be expanded in the future and other titles are currently under consideration." But does that mean that CGC Magazines is going to be a completely different entity than CGC Comics? It seems odd to me that a company known for grading comics would suddenly branch out into magazines, even if it has already been accepting comic-related mags. Then again, I also didn't know CGC graded photographs which, according to its website, it does.

The opening up of grading to Sports Illustrateds, especially with the SS possibilities is a great move by CGC. They've now opened themselves up to another vast market for their product...wonder if they will be setting up at some sports shows now?
