RYEBABY Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Hi everyone, Due to crazy happening I've finally decided that I shall have to liquidate my complete original owner (90% bought off the newstand) collection and I am debating what books are worth sending to CGC, please let me know your thoughts guys, Ive been out of the game for a decade or so, so all feedback is greatly appreciated. I'll be putting up a selection of books that I feel may justify being sent, if I've got it wrong please let me know, I can't afford to mess this decision up!!! All grade advice and guidance is invaluable to me. Also In doing my research today I have discovered something called pressing (wasn't around in my collecting heyday) so if any books look like they may benefit from this please let me know. thanks in advance guys Rye.

Rye, I think you are flooding the PGM thread, against guidelines. 3 books max a day. I'm not going to report you but the mods can close your threads. POSTING LIMITS2. Please post only one (1) book per thread and a maximum of three (3) books per person in a 24 hour period. It will make it more enjoyable for people to grade and will also encourage more people to grade your submission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STORMSHADOW_80 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Looks like a 9.0 to 9.2. If most of your books you bought yourself i think you should look into having them pedigreed. You should be able to get a higher return and it's nice to see more pedigrees added to the hobby as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADAMANTIUM Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I agree with 9.0 maybe 9.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the majority of my collection was thrown away by my Nan back in the early 80's, I had all my books stacked away in a couple of suitcases in her loft (near complete runs of Amazing Spiderman and Fantastic four up to the mid 70's mainly) for years. When she decided to clear out her loft she just thought it was all clutter and binned the lot. I only found out a couple of years after the event when I went round there to pick them up and asked her where my old suitcases of comics were. Gutted beyond belief, but i couldn't bring myself to complain to her, she was such a beautiful lady so totally innocent, honest and genuine. So i have only have the remnants of my collection left , no pedigree for me ! Could do with them now though ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidTheDavid Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 9.0 CGC will help bring a premium, but at a price. A book like that, with better scans and pics, will fetch a pretty penny raw. I'm sure you could sell it here at a nice price. Just hold out against the bargain hunters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's difficult to get a pedigree designation from CGC. Besides volume, they need to be consistently high grade. From the CGC website.... The collection must be high-grade. Comics from the Silver Age in general would have to be 9.2 and higher, and a collection of exclusive Silver Age material must have an average grade of 9.4. Golden Age comics would have to be high-grade as well. Edited November 5, 2017 by Bomber-Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
