What to do with my modern 9.4

[dicjones]

I got three Miller Daredevil's graded, just yesterday, so I don't have the books in hand. I was tracking them as I'm sure everyone does. They were issues 174, 175 and 176. I was fairly confident they were all 9.8's...at the worse 9.6's.

 

The 175 and 176 in fact came back as 9.8's...yeah for me!!!

 

The 174 came back as a 9.4...apparently and unfortunately I missed something along the way. Not a bad grade for a book, just not so good for that age of a book.

 

My question is, what do I do with this thing now. I really didn't want anything less than a 9.6 for my Miller Daredevil's. What would you guys do? Is it even worth trying to sell...or should I just hang on to it and be thankful for what it is. I was the winning bidder for 4.99 on it on eBay, so I guess it is a good deal all in all.

 

Also, do you think the coupon freebies get pushed aside for paying customers...the freebies I got graded took forever. These 3 were received at CGC on May 25th and are already done.

Crack it out, throw the book and the label in a mylar another 20 years (looks better that way anyways). Lets face it a book like that from that era and in 9.4 grade is a sunk cost so enjoy it.

I have a book that was pre-screened by Matt Nelson as a 9.8 that somehow ended up as a 9.2 (got creased at the bottom left corner at some point), I am likely to donate it or give it as a gift at some point as it is not even worth the slabbing costs.

 

Not sure about the timing of the coupons vs. regular books but I was under the impression they should be about the same.

Give it away.

 

Much like crack cocaine, it will end up making the recipient an addict, and all the rest of us a lot wealthier...

i'd crack it and sell it here raw as "a possible 9.8"

[homerwannabee]

Make some kind of contest, and use this as the prize.

[t3quila]

I'd sell it and state that it looks much better than a 9.4 and if resubbed the paper quality and grade would improve

Burn it. Consider it an offering

[DiceX]

Start 3 more threads about it, minimum.

I have another, it was the very first back issue comic I ever bought, so I have one in a lesser grade that I can enjoy.

 

But the responses are what I figured for the most part...oh well.

I should be happy, it is only my second submission to CGC...pretty good batting average so far I guess.

Old School hereabouts. Crack it open and read it.

Hmmm... How about, err, umm, READ IT!!!

[ComicConnoisseur]

Keep it, as eventually people are going to realize that those 8.5`s,9.0`s,9.2`s and 9.4`s are actually nice and not that much difference then 9.6`s and 9.8`s except in price,especially from the era we are talking about Cronze.

It's a lot better than everyone giving the same exact answer, or no answer at all....

 

Gotta have a sense of humor around here....

I wasn't dissing on anybody with that comment, I just meant that I figured it was pretty much worthless...which is what everybody said.

 

I have read it and own a reader.

Oh. Sorry.

 

I read your reply wrong. See how easy that is to do...?
