Watchmen #1.....

[OldNewComicGuy]

The group here seems to be a knowledgable bunch, so here I go. I have a few copies of Watchmen #1, which have been opened maybe 1 or 2 times, if that.

 

Who feels these might be worth submitting for grading? These are obviously books I would like to try and make some money on if they grade high enough....

 

thanks

I wouldn't submit it unless it came back a 9.8. I don't see that much heat surrounding that title compared to about a year ago.

I agree with Ricky....Dont grade ANY modern comic unless you know your grading skills are comparable with CGC's and you just know you're gonna get a 9.6+!

watchmen barely guides above cover price, so no, its not worth slabbing.

you will be unlikely to even get your cgc grading fees back by selling them.

as others have said unless you get a 9.8 on a modern book (except the scant few modern keys) it is unlikely to attract much interest. and you won't get a 9.8 if the book has been touched by human hands IMHO.

Send 'em in if you think they'll get a 9.8. With that black back cover, they're nearly impossible to find without some sort of thumb print.

I knew I came to the right place to gain knowledge! Thanks to all for your advice..... I'll keep all posted on any other good stuff I do decide to get graded....

What about the Watchmen hardcover from Graphitti Press? Obviously you can't slab it, but what is it worth on ebay? I've seen some sell for over $100, and some not sell for near that.

 

I've got one that has never been read and I'm thinking of selling it.

I have one of the Leather Hard Covers also Bob, and I don't think I could part with mine.....

 

Whole series is still an awesome read....

bob - the ones you probably see not sell for xlose to $100 are the Book LCub Editions 1st through currently 6th printings, I believe.
