Books worth more to you than the GPA!

[ignimbrite]

So I was looking through my books and I have a lot that I realize I place way more value on than the GPA would peg them to be worth. In some cases (like the example below) the value on the market is probably almost zero but it is a book that I remember loving as a kid and always wanted a perfect copy. I have the old beater I bought when I was young but this one sits on my shelf. Anyone else have books like this?

 

[Wally's Comics]

speedball?

 

Is that a character off of ROM?

I thought a speedball was heroin and coke mixed.

 

 

 

Oh you mean the comic,,,,never mind.

I am not sure they thought the book was even worth assessing PQ!

I value all my books more than the GPA...otherwise, I'd sell them.

My collection is either low-grade, or drek, so, yes, and no.

Way to easy of a question.

My first ever comic book.

Meaningless to most people, but everything to me.

 

[Designer Toast]

For sentimental reasons...

Not my copy, but this particular book was the first one I ever owned and for that reason I think it's far more valuable than what it sells for on eBay...at least my OO copy.

I realize that everyone has many books that are worth more to them than they money they could get for it or they would have sold it already. I was looking more along the lines of books that might be little (or close to it) that you have an affinity for. Hence my example of Speedball and my goal of having the entire ten-issue run in CGC 9.8.

This describes virtually my entire collection...

 

I really don't even have any "key" books, I prefer to root for dreky-underdogs.

will forever be indebted to Kevin Boyd for selling me this book...

 

 

[DrWatson]

I would say that's a two way street.

The books i would like slabbed are:

 

Marvel Two In One 21 - first book i remember reading

Power Man 23 - first book i remember buying

ASM 230 - fave cover (of all maybe)

 

Certainly the first two are worth more to me than any GPA or guide would ever place on them - but to me
