Would you.....?

Ya no purple allowed!

[WebSlinger]

....and ya I guess I'm weird too.

it's certainly nothing to be taken lightly.

 

think over the trade. you're trading a slabbed comic (+ other stuff/money) which is an already slabbed known what it is comic for a raw VERY POPULAR comic.

 

red flags, for me at least.

 

 

 

There are less than 1900 slabbed AF 15's on the census, estimates of how many exist are somewhere around 10,000 copies total.

 

So you can't go by it's raw nature, alone, as a red flag.

There is no reason to slab a low grade comic.

i disagree. Too many things can happen to an expensive comic book over the years.

[SuperBird]

Not much can happen to a low grade book to make it worse off than it already is.

 

If the Dentist's copy of Action 1 is unslabbed, then so can this copy of AF15 remain.

[ThoseBackPages]

theres a difference between low grade blue and low grade purple

[maloney414]

Assign a value to the AF 15. Subtract the cash amount you have to put up in the trade. Look at the answer.

 

Would you sell your Bone #1 for that price? If so, make the trade.

[maloney414]

But personally, I wouldn't sell the Bone. But I'm a Bone fan, so the comic is special to me. AF always seem to be up for sale, so it's not like you have to rush. Unless you're confident you'll be able to replace the Bone I'd just continue to save until you have the funds.

I have many expensive keys in the raw,who needs to have them slabbed when I won't ever be selling them.

With 1/6th the cover missing, I doubt anyone would care if there were color touch... but that's me, and I could be wrong.

if you're not selling them, then there's nothing wrong with them being raw

This means nothing without pics and the full deal disclosed.

Thursday........until it is in my hands.......

[Wushugushu]

If one was to decide that they wanted to collect an older series in slab form - Do people normally start by purchasing slabs straight up, or is it normally better to look for high grade raw copies to sub themselves?

 

For series from 70s or earlier. Seems like it may be more difficult to find a raw from 35+ years ago

:shrug:

[CBT]

is there a legit reason the AF15 is raw?

 

cause slabs suck or cause he wants to read it
