TylerMollner Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I've been collecting for a few years now. I wouldn't say I'm the most knowledgeable individual when it comes to comic books, but I do know that not having the cover significantly decreases value. Is it worth submitting some of my more valuable coverless comics to be graded? I have first issues that are coverless, even a 1.5 is worth over $100 on some with cover. Thoughts? Thanks guys! Here are a couple examples I had right in front of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PovertyRow Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Sorry to say there is nothing remotely worth grading here. 1st Book - Chamber of Chills #22 from 1976 - too bad it is coverless as there is a 30 cent price variant that goes for a lot more than the regular 35 center. BUT the only indication of a price variant is the cover. The indicia remains the same. 2nd book - Green Lantern #197 from 1985. Really nothing special here even with a cover.

A possibility about the COC but no excuse for the GL. But even if it WAS a GA Chamber of Chills, a coverless one would fetch less than the grading costs.

theCapraAegagrus Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I personally would not grade a coverless copy, but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djzombi Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 There's probably a market for graded coverless EC horror books, I'd wager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10centcomics Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Unless it's some six-figure book that needs a verification of authenticity, I would keep coverless books raw--they make great reader copies and there is no mystery about what grade they will receive.
