After 20 years of seriously collecting comic books I finally bid on and bought my first piece of original art. Nothing spectacular at all but cool to finally own an original piece of comic art.

i keep thinking stuff like that too. my hypothesis is People who got burned in the stock market are playing with my funny pages books like they are stocks now

 

I'm of the housing market mind - if the prices seem to high its because they are..but that movie is on the horizon and everyone knows the insanity that ensues.

 

some many factors affecting value its hard to gauge sometimes.

I think one factor is tax refunds, people are starting to receive them now in the USA, I was in Best Buy yesterday and the place was crowded, electronics,Ipads, big TV’s and videogames were flying out of there, You could never tell the US economy was in a recession if you were in Best Buy yesterday.

All you have to do is send the label in with the book. You can tell the ones that have been pressed because they are missing the silver RM/CLink sticker on the front.

 

Hmmm, so CGC, knowing that they graded the exact same book, would grade it again at a higher grade. Wouldn't they stand by their old grade?

 

What If the book is not a PED yet the label says 9.6 and you send it in cracked out yet with the label, will they give you a 9.6 again?

 

Any RM books that have gotten resubed come back with lower grades?

 

The graders never see the label or the previous grade of the book.

 

The label allows for the administrative staff to identify the Pedigree lineage of the book. Once the Ped status is established by admin, the book is put into a mylar and has a bar code slapped on it for identification. The graders never see the old label and they have no idea what the previous grade was. They simply grade the book as it sits in front of them, for better or for worse and enter the grade into the software with the bar code as the only identifier.

 

 

Thanks for the great explanation... I always wondered that )

The Marvel Silver Age keys are not only some of the best investments in comics but in all the collectables fields, kinda like getting a Topps Mickey Mantle rookie card, there will always be plenty of interest and bidders.
