2Sunny Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 New guy here. Finally decided to open the box of comics I've been storing in my closet for 40+ years and sending a couple dozen to CGC, but I had a few questions and posted in the "Can you spare a grade" discussion, but that was over an hour ago and neither of my two posts has been approved by a moderator yet, just wondering if maybe I did something wrong or is that normal and I just need to be patient? Thanks, Joe in NY 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adampasz Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I see your posts in the "Can you spare a grade" section. Moderators don't need to approve every post. Seems like you're doing great so far! Welcome to the boards. Namtak, Raze, ADAMANTIUM and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicdonna Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Maybe 5 years ago, bots showed up and started about 1000 spam threads in Chinese, in a few hours. 2 moderators couldn't ban the id's fast enough. Actually, it went on for at least a few days. Lately, there have been a few id's with 100's of links for escort services. greggy and Namtak 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Sunny Posted October 16, 2021 Author Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) Aww. Well shucks No really thanks for the warm welcome. I see already I'm in trouble because overnight I've gone from "hey maybe it's time to start selling my comics I've kept for 40 years" to suddenly "hey, when I was a kid I REALLY liked comics, and who woulda thunk it . . . I still do . . ." Can't say adam p. didn't try to warn me. Really a shame that 10 year old me was smart enough to hang on to the comics, but not smart enough to keep from loving them a little too much. My quick look through my 220 or so books and I think maybe 3 or 4 have a shot at 9.8. The rest are pretty solid 4-7 and a handful of 7+. Ah well it's fun catching up after 40 years. Thanks again guys!! Edited October 16, 2021 by Joe Peck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poekaymon Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 My is that people here are overly pessimistic, especially on what it takes to get a 9.6/9.8. I'd submit 10 or so and see for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalPSI Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I think people are the opposite and generally overgrade their books, to huge disappointment I've only recently learned the perils of imperceptible fingerprints, bends, ticks, and scratches Namtak and Randall Dowling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poekaymon Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Exactly the sort of thing I'm talking about. Have had many books come back 9.8 with not only those "imperceptible" flaws, but totally naked-eye perceptible ones as well. I think he's on the right track making an honest and harsh evaluation of his collection, but I wouldn't just give up because a bunch of people said my books weren't 9.8s. Pick the best ones and give it a try. It's not that expensive to get a definitive answer. Just my Namtak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalPSI Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 What, being realistic? Have the PGM forum and the restoration forum to learn from. Learn what grade scale CGC uses and go from there. Only way to see what CGC grades is to send it in and find out. My experiences haven't made me a pessimist, rather I've learned a lot about the grading process from it. Flippers however....
