How many CGC books do you own?

[Jaymole]

Around 150 but I am looking to sell a few so that number should decline.

[ashrael]

3? 4? Somewhere around there.

[Timulty]

Nineteen, 14 CMA's and 5 WC's. I have enjoyed them immensely over the years

Not sure... I have about 10 CGC boxes filled and about 200 more at CGC right now.... so...maybe 400-500?

 

My dreams to have 15,000 slabs... and then run a heritage feature auction consisting only of my books.... oh, and to have the #1 registry set of the inferior five...

[Tsimanga]

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

 

To read them.

 

And to enjoy them.

 

+1.

 

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

 

+1,000,000

 

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

 

[font:Arial Black]I don't love the smell of all comics[/font], some of them smell so bad it makes me gag!

 

 

That's blasphemy.....

[JohnT]

I own 2, but only because I haven't gotten around to cracking them open yet.

Not going to enter them in the registry?

I own very few slabs in my personal collection because I enjoy cracking the books out!

 

Something really special about holding a nice 70 year old book in your bare hands and smelling it while you read it, skim the ads and just feel it's weight in your paws.

 

[Blind Owl]

Agree totally!!!!

then dropping it onto the ground and stepping on it in all the excitment....

 

I agree with you on those older books. Everyone I looked at during Heroes, I smelled the aroma, turned the pages, and was scared the whole time.

 

I think I have about 350 keeper slabs.

[Norrin_Radd]

I currently own 11.

Now down to 6.

[Miraclo]

Even as a collector of GA i only own a handful of CGC slabbed books. If at all possible I always look for a raw copy. Most of the GA stories are not reprinted (except for the heroes, of course, in those wonderful DC Archive Edition collections ), and I love going back and reading them every now and again...

[harvdoss]

Around 100

Cracked or on Crack

Crack or on crack, that is the question

[Silver]

I think I have two books left in slabs, and several hundred labels
