To grade or not to grade.....Secret Wars 0

[Bob Troub]

Picked up a really nice set of Marvel Secret Wars minus the #8, I'm thinking of having these graded..... strictly to flip, not to keep....I would appreciate your thoughts

Wrong sub-forum.  Plus, if you want our estimates and opinions, you need to show pics of each book in a separate thread.  There's a max of 3 listings per day under the forum 'Hey buddy, can you spare a grade?'.  That's the best place to get people's opinions on all those books.  Best of luck!!!

The grade is literally the most important part of the decision making process.

If you already know what your grades will be, just go on eBay and look at sold prices for raw vs slabbed and do some cost benefit analysis of your own based on your own business experience, financial situation make sure you factor in all relevant costs of grading and selling.  Everyone has different profit margin goals and risk aversion preferences, so after all the math you should have a pretty good idea if it’s right for you. Assuming of course, they grade out the way you expect.

Outside of #1 and #8, the books would need to hit a 9.6  to make any money.  As the rest of the books are not particularly popular, I would not waste the money and time needed to flip them.  If you think they will hit 9.8, it's a good deal.

When I had a local dealer come out to the house to look at my Son's books he was selling the dealer after looking at our Secret Wars run (including #8) told me he usually gets $150.00 for the entire run (Raw).

Are they worth grading?, I do not have books graded so what is the cost of grading 11 books (without the big key) vs. FMV on those books?

I would suggest you look at eBay sold auction listings for Raw vs. Slabbed, including full runs.

Not worth grading.

Like many copper books they have to hit the 9.8 grade to be worth it.

Example: in 9.6 issue 4 recently sold for $26.00. It costs more than that to get them graded + shipping.
