How many slabed comics do you own?

71 posts in this topic

Why crack open slabbed books? Assuming of course the internal story is available to be read by other means.

We had this topic a while back.

 

Kinda interesting to hear some of the responses.

 

If I'm not mistaken there were much larger numbers then than now. At least so far. I think I'm still around the 700+ slab range...as I've basically sold off about the same number as I've purchased in the last year. I expect the number to increase modestly this year, as I still have ~50 9.2 or less books that I will sell. I anticipate about 60 books will be purchased, depending on what drought (if any) will occur after the DONROSA sell-off ends.

 

Some of the other collectors who claim the same stuff I do indicate that they have around the same number of slabs.

Two. And one book that used to be slabbed but I broke it out to read the stories. (Seven Seas 3.) The two slabbed books are a late-bronze Batman and one of the Death in the Family Batmans, both 9.4. I have 3000 or so raw comics, so you can do the math.

A little over 100 slabbed JLAs (Silver of course)

Plus complete slabs of COIEs & DKRs.

And a handful of other personal faves (like Spidey vs Wolvie 9.8).

 

So maybe 130 CGCs against 5+ long boxes of other possible contenders -do Marvels sell?- puts my current percentage at appx... 7.9%

 

That number will definitely go up.

893scratchchin-thumb.gif Perhaps a new thread. "If you had a generous offer for comic collection and had to start over, what 167 comics would you collect?" 893scratchchin-thumb.gif
