No press needed... I really hoped for a 9.9 on 1, but I knew they wont be less than 9.8 funny thing is the seller had about 20 copies, but I was happy with 5 onlyweaknesskryptonite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely hauled a larger U-Haul than needed. Here’s a picture of about 70% of the collection. OO is 54 and didn’t start really collecting until 1984, which is about the year I stopped buying new books Comics, mags, books, posters and movie posters. Looking through first box these 9/11 Spideys sort of jumped out at me.

How do you know when, for instance, a 9.4 that lays flat with sharp corners could get a 9.8 with a press? When the difference between making and losing money on slabbing is whether it comes back a 9.4 or 9.6 it’s a vexing question. As far as the results of my purchase. Some valuable books that deserve slabbing and thousands that are worthy of slabbing if I could guarantee 9.6 or better. The condition is excellent and the scope of the collection is broad. The OO was no kid when he was buying books. Tons of high grade magazines, hardcover first editions. Of note are the large amount of newsstand books including a spawn run to well into the 100’s. Still going through it but lots of fun. STORMSHADOW_80, Krismusic, HuddyBee and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice looking books, sounds like quite a score with a nice variety of books, well done sir As far as the press issue is concerned, I only press books that are not flat or have a little bit of a curl to them, I am not a pro by any means but I think thats when it counts the most. With moderns I set up a pre-screen to 9.8 if it comes back rejected I list it as NM raw and call it a day, theres your $5 loss. Those ASM 225s were friggin mint, seriously, some of the pages were stuck as these copies were never read. Flat and sharp, if youd see them youd know these are 9.8s. Some other books are questionable at which point I give them a quick press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Aweandlorder Posted December 4, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2019 First. large quantities of drek in grade... 95% of these will come back 9.8 Oh the transformers snuck up in there somehow... 1st prints in grade 9.6-9.8s A whole run of Deathstroke for $50? sure why not Im a total believer in this book... its $50-70 in grade now, but I do believe it will be a $150 book soon... If I can compare it to anything it would be Hulk #377... For the longest time people were only chasing the 3rd print... But it all changed last summer manetteska, ADAMANTIUM, F For Fake and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
