How many CGC books do you own?

[PurpleZeke]

Slightly over 360 in the CGC registry for my personal collection, have about 1,000-1,200 in inventory for our Ebay store. Mostly moderns and bronze.

[RockMyAmadeus]

Im surprised at the low numbers as well. Im just short of 500.

 

Any Dale Keown Hulk 9.8s....?

 

(What? He's earned it. )

[divad]

Never buy slabbed and only slab to sell so I never really have any.

 

Pretty much what I do, except for an occasional "deal" I can't pass up . . . so I generally have a "rolling stock" of about 25 in hand

[toysmania]

I'm curious. Apart from cracking slabs to get a sig or sketch, why would ppl free their comics from slabs?

[toysmania]

Less than 10 at any given time.

 

Do you happen to be chromiumcomics from youtube?

 

Yes, it's him.

 

And this one is my favorite video:

 

 

The ending was funny. Chromium comics has an admirabl collection of SA stuff. I saw his ASM vid. Woah sweet books and I like the way he keeps his stuff! (thumbs u

Keep 'em in the slab if you want to sell them or have another reading copy. Otherwise, crack that sucker and enjoy.

I love the smell of comics, looking at the art inside, paper quality, etc.

 

I crack 95% of the CGC books that I buy and that I know I want to keep for my personal collection. The only exceptions are the very expensive books although I am still pondering the "crack vs don't crack" debate on some

[drbanner]

I have around 150 slabs and will eventually get most of my keepers slabbed. I got the expensive raw books in my collection slabbed for the resto check and to make them liquid in case I upgrade, decide to sell, etc.,. I'd love to end up with a collection of around 100 books, but it's too tough to let some of these great gems go!

 

I'm continually trying to reduce numbers and increase quality of the books in my collection, so I've pretty much sold all the long runs of the titles I used to have while selectively picking up a few nice books every couple of months. I read most of my books years ago when I was a mere youngster, if I read any comic-book related stuff these days it's in the form of trades or low-grade beater readers.

[Artboy99]

I prefer raw books, because I like to read them. However, I own 6 slabs, some of which can't be exchanged for raw due to the pedigree ( Edgar Church collection ).

I don't love the smell of all comics, some of them smell so bad it makes me gag!

As long as you've got the label, you're good, CGC will recertify it as a pedigree. That same label should be good enough for customers as well if you decide you don't want to reslab. Obviously you'd get more if you did choose to reslab, but that's already true whether it's a pedigree or not.

[sassemble]

 

I have just five with another on the way. I believe you slab them either to sell them, if they are keys or if they are high grade silver books.

 

 

[Dale Roberts]

in my inventory....many.

 

in my collection, less than 50.

[unmovedmover]

I've got less than 2 dozen - 2-3 'Collector grade' books and a bunch of modern slabs that i've picked up because I like the covers or they were cheap.
