The First Four

[Tnerb]

And I don't mean the fantastic kind

 

Both issue two and three of my Daredevil collection are graded by CGC and signed by Stan Lee. I purchased each of these raw, at a convention. When I had them in my hands with a 9.0 grade, I was ecstatic. My first and fourth issue are also signed by Stan Lee. Their grades are no where near as good. I hope to get those a bit higher, but my next Silver Age raw book I am looking for is DD issue five.

 

Wally Wood worked his magic in this issue. If I can only get that in a 9.0 or higher it would help solidify in my mind that I have some pristine looking books. A goal from last year was to get the first ten issues of Daredevil signed by Stan Lee. I did get a few more signatures from the man, but they were on some other books.

 

The question is, will this fall within my goals? And if it does, will it fall within my budget? And then if it doesn't, can I skip getting birthday books? Either way when it comes down to the final result and considering the day, I am thankful for what I have.

 

Happy Thanksgiving

 

Thanks for Reading

I kinda have the same dilemma. I guess it all depends on why you are having your comic books graded in the first place. For some it means that its a better way of archiving their precious comic books, for others its a way of increasing the value, and for others its just for fun. I'm impressed that you got the yellow label with Stan Lee's autograph despite the any grade you get on them. I personally enjoy just the new way of collecting my comics and am in the process of making them more consistent.

 

 

Sure I get comments that some of my comics aren't going to get a high enough grade to CGC, but if that was all that mattered to me, I would have explored other avenues such as PGX or CBCS. Sometimes I think its just the journey that makes this all worth while. I'll put some books up for other boardies to grade and then send them in and wait to see what CGC ultimately somes up with...it's like waiting for Christmas! I also plan on registering my slabs that I create to help in this endeavor. I hope you find what works best for you...and I hope you and your family had a most auspicious Thanksgiving!

You have always loved Daredevil, and between you and Netflix now I love him too. The issues you have are amazing and I look forward to seeing you add more!
