PGM: X-Men #13

[mitch2k2-migration]

Hey all,

 

New here and hoping to get some assistance on gauging some grades. Thought this might make a good baseline. Thoughts? I have mine, but I fear I tend to over-estimate.

 

 

 

Thanks in advance.

8.0 Welcome to the boards.

[Mikeyp]

Id say about 7.5

[mitch2k2-migration]

Thanks for the welcome.

 

The scanner really does accentuate the flaws, doesn't it? The thing looks like a solid 8.5-9 in hand.

 

But then again, like I said, I tend to fawn over my babies.

I was thinking 8.0 too but I could see it being a possible 8.5.

9.0

[mitch2k2-migration]

Thanks for the input, all.

 

I'm trying to determine which of the collection warrant grading and slabbing (I'm not made of money). I'm thinking this might be a candidate.

 

According to CPG, the value differentials (raw vs. graded) are as follows:

 

9.0 (VERY FINE/NEAR MINT) $544.00 $761.60

8.5 (VERY FINE+) $416.00 $499.20

8.0 (VERY FINE) $336.00 $336.00

 

If it came back as a 9, it would most certainly be worth it. An 8, not so much.

 

Thoughts?

8.5

Your going by CPG?

No good, I take it? It just seemed to me to be more....current than Overstreet.

That'a just for CGC slabbed comics, though, right?

I see an 8, congrats.

Yes, but it is a better base line to go off of 99% of the time than the other sources you mentioned.

yep. just factor in slabbing cost and you get an idea what stuff is really selling for

Meaning, cut out the cost of grading, shipping, insurance, etc., from the GPA Analysis cost, and you'll get an idea of what people are really paying, right?

 

But still, that's what people are paying for third party graded books, as opposed to raw books, right?

 

I mean, even if you subtract the cost of grading, shipping, insurance, etc, there's still (for many/certain books, at certain grades) a wide differential in value between CGC/raw, so there are still two different markets at play here.

 

Where is the best place to look today for an accurate, up to date guide on that NON-CGC market value?

[dscott]

Honestly I would have no idea. I use GPA for everything even my raw books. When I list them for sale I always try to start around the 12 month average and work from there. I usually will end up going down some because it is ungraded.

 

But I would say around 50% of the time I get the GPA price for a raw book. This occurs quite often for me on ebay. Ill post the book here ask what people think the grade is to double check myself. Then I use the CGC scale and assign the G/VG/F/VF/NM rating to the book based off of that. I just post it up for sale with the asking price close to the gpa of a slabbed book in that grade.

CPG is great if you want to look at the bonny pictures.

Not so much if you looking at how much your books are worth.

I think this is an 8.0
