What books do you get slabbed?

[LovinTheSurfer]

I'm getting this one slabbed, I just got this off of ebay today. I think it might grade as high as a 9.2!

I had an in with the seller who gave me a call.

 

But at least yours is already slabbed. But mine comes with a picture of the previous owner holding up a newspaper to show current events.

And my apologize for derailing this thread.

Slabbed books in similar grade will almost always command a higher dollar re-sale value than raw. It puts the buyer at ease as far as restoration, plus "they" actually get the grades right on occasion.

 

All "Mega-Key" books should be submitted for slabbing regardless of perceived grade, unless it's just a total fluffin' rag.

 

As was previously stated, I intend to slab my entire pre-1966 portion of my collection so my family doesn't get swindled when I drop dead or possibly get scooped up by aliens.

Hopefully you don't stick 'em with the CGC debt....,

I was trying to guesstimate the cost of slabbing that X-Men set that just sold on CL. If the owner of that set made dime one, I 'd be surprised. With round trip shipping and insurance, an SA book better bring at least $60 more slabbed than it will raw or you are wasting money.

I hear you on the fees, but in my mind it's well worth it to slab certain books, specifically if selling on FeeBay. If I listed a slabbed FF #4 8.0 - for example - it would probably sell for over 20 - 25% more than the same exact book raw.

 

I'm not saying this applies to all books, but I think that keys and hot titles are a good bet. However, I do respect your opinion on slabbing. Some people just don't like the idea, but time has proven that many buyers prefer to buy slabs nowadays.

a) Books that I'm selling where they command a higher price when they're slabbed.

 

b) Books for my own collection, the sets that I'm working on, etc. Value is secondary for this option.
