1Cool Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) it was a 0.5 not a 1.5. Good luck with the rest of it though. .5 is a different story sorry if I can't read I made the same mistake. But heck...coverless raws are going for $115 . Actually, unless this is a different book, I think his JLA1 was a NG not a 0.5. Yes it is because I have three copies of jla #1 CGC NG CGC .5 CGC 1.8 Did you grade all of them? yup all graded by cgc Why?? You spent $40 - $50 a piece to grade out books that would probably sell at the same price ungraded as graded? I watched your u-tube vide and it sounded like you expected to get a NG on one of the books Unless its a Golden Age key book I'd not pay the price to slab a book expecting to get a NG or 0.5.

1Cool Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 And I don't know if this is true or not but I got a pm that you supposedly traded a cgc 9.0 asm129 (1000+) for a raw ba12 (500?). ?? Yes that's true as well a big mistake on my part. It was a ba12 and $300 cash if I remember correctly. Don't sell yourself short(er). Pre show announcement that wouldn't have been a terrible trade if there was $300 instant cash on top of the book. The ASM 129 CGC 9.0 were going for $750 ish back then and a NMish copy of BA 12 would be a quick sale for $500 - $600. Problem is you are trading certainty with a graded book for a raw book. What if the book comes back trimmed or has a stain that drops it to a 8.0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched your u-tube vide and it sounded like you expected to get a NG on one of the books Unless its a Golden Age key book I'd not pay the price to slab a book expecting to get a NG or 0.5. It was earlier on and I also thought the jla 1.8 would grade higher but I was wrong about and the alone would have covered the cost of the other slabs. I do have a action comics 15 which I don't want to be graded because of slabbing vs how much I spent like you mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd see trading your ASM 129 CGC 9.0 for a long box of hot copper books if you were trying to make some money selling them one at a time but trading a hot key slab for a raw book doesn't leave you enough meat on the bone if everything goes smoothly in order to justify the risks.

There is no transaction for Paypal to freeze. Your only recourse is to out the seller and hope they live up to the agreement. But just like your question about the Russia guy - always do a benefit to cost assessment to avoid risk. You are looking to make money in comics and there is a lot "safer" money to made out there.
