so buy it slabbed and crack it out. that way they get the CGC price and you get a raw copy.

 

but I'm sure he wants a CGC-like copy at a raw price.

After reading the comics you carefully (for a kid) put them in a box and there they sat.........

 

Amazing Fantasy 15 9/62 VF+ 8.5 or better, off white to white, beautiful original gloss, stunning untouched copy!

Yes, that is correct. I have already paid the premium for a cgc copy. I want to buy a nice raw unrestored book. What is the point of buying a cgc graded book, paying all that extra money and then cracking it out. My white mountain copy will stay entombed forever. Most of my other books are unslabbed though and I prefer it that way.

Thanks for the comments every one. Two new items:

 

1. The original owner has supplied me more details for the story to be included on the certificate so I will update the description here soon (I've got to pack and ship ebay sales today!)

 

2. For the AF #15 or other CGC books for that matter: I'd say you are not really paying the grading fee, that is a sunk cost of the owner of the book (witness all the CGC books selling on ebay for less than the grading fee). But, you definitely are paying for the CGC grade, especially if the grade is towards the high end.
