Not Even One CGC

Or a The Choices we Make

 

It has been a while since I purchased a graded CGC book. My last graded comic book I bought was off of Bagofleas. I made the decision to have a few books graded in Baltimore and a bunch more in New York. My most recent purchase was a raw copy of one of my holy grails along with My Weekly Haul. My reader books are part of a separate budget.

 

I did get the grades from Comics To Astonish on my New Mutant Annuals two and three. These books I wanted as they were, in other words, no pressing. They graded 8.5/9.0 consecutively. Two other books are coming back as well. These were sent for my first part of my grade to sell experiment. One a 9.2 and the other a 9.6. Will I make my money back, lose, or gain?

 

I remember in the beginning of the year I needed to improve my overall rank, now I am sitting at 430 which is not only acceptable, it's pleasing. The books I have coming back for me won't catapult me into the three hundred range, that won't happen until next year when I start buying graded books again, and the books I plan in getting are structured a bit more than the underrated New Mutants I love. I plan on setting a guideline, a list if you will much like Oliver Queen and cross them off as I attain them.

 

I tried a CGC hiatus before and always had a reason to buy another, mostly because I had a good week. After reading the Professors lengthy and touching journal I had to think have I ever went over the brink? Fortunately I can say no. My bills always came first but as I am waiting for my books to slowly make their way back, I realized I was $&@?# close.

 

Thanks for reading
