How to verify a CGC graded book by serial number?

[(un)cooldude]

Hey Guys.

 

I'm contemplating buying a CGC-graded book that's at a pretty decent price, but I'd like some way of possibly verifying the label number that's listed on it. Is there a way to do this online, or do you have to call?

 

It's only $20 maximum, so it's not like a $$$ book or anything, but I was kind of curious. I'm actually very interested in it, because it's a variant cover that I kind of like, and the price seems fair.

 

Any advice?

PM me with the number, I'll look it up for you.

Call 'em up. Tell them the same thing you told us, and give them the serial number. They will tell you the title, grade, page color and the graders' notes IF you ask for them.

They are closed for the day. Call tomorrow, or if you just want to verify, as I said, pm me.

Basically, if you join the Collectors Society (which is worth it just for the Coupons), you will be able to look up any serial number (but still would have to call for the graders notes).

Thanks for the offer to look this up for me, Red Hook. I've PM'd the information to you.

 

I didn't realise that being a member of the Society gave you the ability to look up numbers on comics. I guess someone wasn't reading too carefully back when I looked up information on joining...duh!

 

I'm seriously contemplating joining, but wouldn't mind hearing some feedback from existing members. Is it worth it?

 

Granted this is also part of the reason why I've been collecting 'research' fodder for myself to look over CGC comics, processes, and results. Regardless, I appreciate any information you guys are willing to share.

sf,

y'know, I did the math on this one. Unless you've got a few $4,000 books laying around it's not such a great shake. . .
