Arkham Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I was just having a chat with @Wall-Crawler in messenger and, long story short, I said I would buy a 1st print of Batman Damned #1 if CGC had “1st Batawang” or “1st appearance of Bat wang” or similar on the label. Made me wonder what books people would buy if a certain detail was listed on the label? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Readcomix Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Beverly Hillbillies! Was there ever a Sanford and Son comic? I would buy a slab that played that theme song. The Lions Den and Namtak 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Readcomix Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 @kav could help with this! @Arkham I am not at all mocking the topic; this is the sort of thing it actually would take for me to buy a book just for the label. Otherwise I am with @Thisisrequired buy the book not the label. But I might buy a cheap weird book in a fun gimmick label.

Popular Post Randall Dowling Posted October 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2021 There are zero books that I would purchase for the CGC label. The comics and mags are all I care about. Not a competition with others for highest graded. Not a third party graphic. Not a signature verification. Not a number. Not any kind of notation. I've cracked out more books than I can count. The slabs are a means to an end. If I can find it raw for the same price, I'd rather buy it raw. The books are all that matter to me. The covers, the stories, the character appearances, the history, the period styles, different publishers, different genres. And did I mention the artwork? Especially the artwork. Everything else is a distraction from that. Just my sevans1979, MetalPSI , The Lions Den and 11 others 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even one that plays the Hong Kong Phooey theme song, Douglas? Seriously, because I generally agree with you, it became a thought experiment. I had to think outside the box. “Ok, what other-than-the-book itself silliness could I conceive of that would actually make me shell out a few bucks based on it, not the book?” I gotta give @Namtak credit for coming up with greeting card style push button theme music so quickly! Again, it would have to be for a cheap book so that it’s for the sake of the silly gimmick itself. I wouldn’t shell out extra for an AF15 slab that sings the Spider-Man theme song from the old cartoons. Beverly Hillbillies, I might do it….

Jesse-Lee Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) I bought the Spider-man Free Comic Book Day 2020 in a CGC 9.8 for $30 awhile ago just for the label. I had gotten back into collecting during COVID, and I just wanted the label that says "1st full appearance of Virus (distributed after Venom 26 due to COVID-19 pandemic shipping delay)." Stupid reason? Maybe, but I assure you I've spent more money on even stupider things.

There was a day when I was more attracted to novelty and sensation but this is just where I've landed. To me, the new labels are purely a way to increase volume of work for CGC. And it's been very successful doing so. Some really enjoy it and that's fine for them. It's just not for me. The Lions Den and MetalPSI 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here; just trying to have fun with the topic. It would take more than a character image on a label to get me to pay more.
