jreezy Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) EoW Thread Good point Authority, not sure, I'd be curious to hear others opinions. 9.6s tend to be the bologna of modern slabs for some reason. Can't speak for others, but when it comes to moderns it's 9.8 or better all day for me. Same holds true for most coppers.

jreezy Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Do CGC 9.6s bother people to the point where they will pay more for a NM raw than a 9.6 ? A link to this auction was sent to me and I definitely would have paid more for the book. I just missed it. Forbidden Planet #1 CGC 9.6 $13.50 + $10 shipping http://www.ebay.com/itm/EAST-OF-WEST-1-Hickman-Image-FOrbidden-Planet-variant-CGC-9-6-/131127385931?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item1e87cd1f4b Raw NM/M $32.99 free shipping http://www.ebay.com/itm/EAST-OF-WEST-1-IMAGE-FORBIDDEN-PLANET-variant-Hickman-Nick-Dragotta-NM-M-/151239687207?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item2336967c27 Thoughts ? With a nm/m raw you sell the dream of a 9.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBT Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 you cant lose buying a 9.6 for less than it costs to slab , especially once you factor in shipping to CGC. I'd buy any book in 9.6 for $13.50! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jreezy Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 $13.50 for a 9.6 is great value. It'll be hard to pass that up. The thing is with the 9.6's in my collection, i get OCD and crave to upgrade to a 9.8. =( With silver and bronze , I don't mind low to mid grade copies.

CBT Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Would you guys pay $13.50 for a 9.0 or 8.5? If its a book I like, or Copper and older, absolutely. For a brand new modern, despite what some people try to peddle, they are all too easy in Ultra High Grade to be bothered with an 8.5. But really, when the price is below the subbing fee, at $13.50 all you need to ask yourself, is do I want to own this. Because the book is free, you are just paying for the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geaux Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I'd get a 9.0 for less than the price of a case if I really just wanted to have the single issue on a budget. Saves me time and hassle as someone who isn't big into the collecting scene nor has the money to do so, but still wants to have a copy of the book in decent condition for a long time.

I will admit a book sure does look better in a CGC case across all grade levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
