Grading question

[jamesmatt]

I used to buy CGC graded books, but after aquiring a half dozen I realized the money I was spending in the extreme overpricing related to graded books.

 

I have since been purchasing very nice copies of non-graded books and have a very decent collection. My question is, are there any grading services out there that do not slab and charge a $10+ fee per book so I can have an unbiased idea of the grade of my books for my own info? I am not interested in slabbing them, but I would like to make sure they are all complete and find out where they fall in teh grading scale.

 

I woudl do it myself, but I want to be unbiased and have someone experienced do it.

 

Thanks!!!

Send them to me, and I'll do it for $5 per book, plus shipping.

Buy the OS Grading Guide from your local shop. Grade the books yourself and just follow the Guide strictly.

 

It is tough to grade your own stuff w/out bias initially, but you'll get better after practice. Throw up a few scans in the grading/resto forum and have some of those guys give you ideas on what you may be missing when grading you stuff.

yeah a scanner is a good investment, makes your sales easier, and relieves you when ya might have overpaid, dang ima need to get one
