AGGIEZ Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Went to NYC and visited Metropolis' offices (still in AWE from all the original covers on the walls). Came home and found CGC boxes waiting for me. More of the Harlan Ellison Collection. *Nerdgasm* As you'd expect the grading is all over the map. Holy jeez! I'm estimating that is about 240 CGC books? WOW, that's $7,500 in grading fees and about a 12 month wait...Kudos to you! More pictures?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatterEaterLad Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 WOW, that's $7,500 in grading fees and about a 12 month wait...Kudos to you! More pictures?!? Absolutely! Some boardies pointed out that the big auction houses would front the dough for grading and deduct from the auction sales...but I'm not really planning to sell anytime soon, so yeah, the grading fees were i-n-t-e-n-s-e. And the wait took about 8 months, so far. Still waiting on the rest. The whole collection is just shy of 800 books. Includes runs of all the major SA Marvel titles, Bronze keys, some DC books, underground books, a few GA books, and all of the comics that Harlan had a hand in (either directly or indirectly) as a creator. Plus certificates of authenticity signed by Harlan. Here are some craptastic photos and some decent scans. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
