There's a whole movement out there against CGC " purists". IMO there's enough collected masterworks to read the stories,and still enjoy my original books graded.F-em! meh

I think slabbing keys, especially older ones, is a prudent thing to do strictly for preservation.

 

Yellow labels are great for sig verification.

Everything else is gravy, just crack and read but at least you know what quality you're buying 2c

 

I have to believe that putting a comic in a mylar bag with an acid free board will preserve the book better than the slab.

 

I agree with everything else you said for the most part (thumbs u

Comics have to worthy to be slebbed. Having your comics slabed is the best thing you can do for them. Especially, if your like me and just cant keep your hands off them. I say buy 'em raw, read it. Then if it's trully prescious to you you'll do the right thing and give it a proper home from CGC.

Mylar can be bent. Corners could still be dented. liquids can still get in.

If you love it, slab it.

 

 

My slab could get pushed out of a window :makepoint:

Most slabs are not waterproof. There is a rather simple test to find out if yours happens to be.

My goal is to collect issues of the "core" titles (Spidey, FF, Hulk, Cap, Avengers, X-Men, Iron Man, Thor) issue #1-#100 (or the 1st 100 issues since their appearance i.e. Hulk, Cap, Thor, Iron Man) in lower grade "readers" to accompany HG slabs of the same issues.

 

This will take a while :preach:

Also my strategy. High grade, nicely-presenting originals of the books that really mean the most to me, while enjoying reading complete runs of stories in Masterworks, Archives or trade paperbacks. A system that works perfectly for me, which is all I need be concerned about. (thumbs u

the outside might not be but you can see the inner core is sealed. Duh
So I can play with my slabs while taking a bath? :insane:

 

(Yeah, I know I'm leaving myself open...)
