MareB Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I am new to this and planning on sending some comics for grading. I have attached pics of a 1957 Superman #116, a 1964 Batman #164, a 1964 Action Comics #312, and a 1967 Gold Key Star Trek. Are these worth submitting for grading? They are really clean covers and backs, but there is some tanning on the pages. No rips, tears, or markings that I can see. Thank you for any help you can provide.

Randall Dowling Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 The only one of those I might get graded is Superman 116 (and I'd have to do some research to determine if it's worth it). The rest, I doubt you'd get your grading fees back relative to selling it raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveinthecity Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I would’ve thought the Star Trek #1 would have been worthwhile even in lower grades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 IMO, no. That Batman looks really nice, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehumantorch Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Pretty tough to assess the books without better pics and back cover pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since it's over 300$, remember you'll have to select the next tier. I really love the other comics, they look in great shape, but the cost of grading probably won't make up for how much you'd get if you sold them graded vs sold raw. And that's what it's all about right? I think they are all worth more than the cost of grading but you'd make more money selling them raw. If you want to sell these comics, I recommend you send them to Mycomicshop.com so that they go up in an upcoming auction, they've been getting some really good returns lately and those comics are awesome for that.

Deadpoolica Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I wouldn't even though a couple do look good; value just isn't there imo MareB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisgeo1 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 The Star Trek is a big key. Anything over a 9.0 sells in the $1000's. I just sent one off to be graded and hoping for a 6.0 or so. You probably don't have one in that range, but depending on what you paid for it, I think you should consider. IMO! steveinthecity and MareB 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
