The 10K+ Funny Book club

[sufunk]

Can I ask you guys who posted books a question. I was talking with another boardie about raw books We bought back in the 70's,80's and 90's back before CGC and was curious about something.

 

If you dont mind me asking, Were any of the books posted so far bought raw by you guys back in the day or were they all bought already slabbed?

 

Could you guys please post wether they bought raw or slabbed?

 

Thanks!

Such a rare specimen in this grade. Absolutely newsstand fresh!

Of the books I posted, I bought both the ASM #3 and #7 in the 1990s before CGC opened its doors.

That's very impressive

 

I bought my Xmen1 raw back in the late 90's but that's just an 8.5. To have early spideys that HG that you bought raw is pretty amazing! Congrats

Ghost town was searching for the best and the result "finding the best".

Tim, I had no idea an Aquaman #1 could ever be worth 10K to anyone.

The madness starts at 9.6.

 

Every time I see an early 60's DC in 9.6, my heart drop. They are so darn scarce.

Of the books I posted, only the JLA #1 was slabbed by me. Being an ex-Zombie, most of my major acquisitions prior to CGC were Marvels, which I then slabbed and sold to fund my slabbed DC acquisitions.

And the hits just keep on coming!!

 

(The nicest and freshest SA DC on earth IMO !!!!!!)

 

How can someone keep this book so fresh for 51+ years? HOW? HOW? HOW?

i wouldn't have thought it would be worthy of inclusion in the thread but, most importantly, someone else did. purchased raw, slabbed by me.

Very impressive book there, you still have that one? I'm not even a DC guy and I wouldn't be able to part with that!

Saving up the ASM 1 and AF15 scans for the $100K+ club I take it?

[fantastic_four]

I know Tim posted one but...

 

 

IMPRESSIVE!

These aren't mine and never were. They came into my LCS raw and he had them graded. I got to hold them before they were slabbed but I only got pictures of the scans when they were slabbed. The LCS sold them as a lot for $100k.
