I have a question....

[Rodey]

I own a copy of X-men #21 and I'm thinking about selling it after I have it graded. Now, for the sake of arguement, let's say it comes back a 9.4, is this issue worth holding onto or is it ok to sell it? It doesn't fit into my collecting style since it isn't a key.

 

Just don't want to grade it and have it sell for $100.

 

All thoughts and opinions welcomed!

GPA average in 9.4 is $388.82

post a scan of FC & BC here on the forums and i'll give you my opinion of the grade.

If you think the book has a shot at a 9.4, then send it in.

[Rodey]

Sweet! I wish I had a scanner to show you guys.

Got $49? Barely more than the cost of a grading.....

 

No excuse not to have a scanner these days.....

If you are going to be scanning slabbed comics, don't buy a Canon, the scanning technolgy Canon uses doesn't pick up images that are not flat on the scanner bed.

 

I don't know about others, but the technology Epson uses has no problem with slabs.

[Darrell F]

A Microtek will give you a scan like this.

Look at FD breaking out the big scans.

[Red Hook]

Good recommendation FD. I was just pointing out how cheap scanners are.....I trust you on the reco.

Awesome! Ask 1 question, got 2 answers for free! I love this place!

 

Once I move into my new house I'm going to purchase a scanner (hopefully in 2 weeks). Right now I'm living with the folks and they finally got rid of dial-up. Ugh. 30 years old and living with the 'rents.

All the HP scanners produce very nice scans of slabbed books.

[ronm3-migration]

yeah but you need a scanner that shows the whole book. All of the other scanners aside from Darrells are inferior to the Microtek King of Kings scanners.

[Darrell F]

And that was the scanned down version. I want to know what was used on this one.
