Bronze/Modern - What Are You Submitting?

[greggy]

Well, my copy should get 9.4 or on a blind day by the graders, a 9.6. But...since the board is so pro-Marvel, I will abandon my DC roots and keep that book! The other may be 9.0? However, I don't bother making predictions in writing so my memory may be wrong, as it has been over 2 months. Will let you know or cause a feeding frenzy with a post in the marketplace!

 

Anyone for a high grade Hulk 143 and 145. We'll see the scavengers come out of the woodwork for those. Yes, they will be for sale!

Let me know on the issue you're gonna sell, especially if it's in the 9.0-9.2 range.

I hope to get around to sending those 2 HG MTU #sand ASM 129 I posted earlier about a month ago, in using the Collectors Society "stubs", plus another undecided using a trivia-win "stub".

 

Also some modern books (ASM from #140/ GS 3 and up) such as some HG 148, 151, 194's, 195, 238?, 239? (the 200's have very little it seems), 298, 300, 301-305, 308 (hard), 316, 317?, 324, 325, 328, 441, too many v2 30 & 26's already, and GS 4's(Punisher),

 

Any others Im missing here that may be a good bet?

I probably won't be slabbing anything for the next couple years, unless CGC drastically reduces their wait time..I'm not big into sending someone 150 dollars so that they can get around to doing what I'm paying them for around 5 months later.

as of right now, the only tier that is longer than a month is economy and that's around three months. considering that they only promise 40 business days it's not going to get much better than that.

 

that's if they can stay ahead of the curve, of course.

[comicinvestor-migration]

I agree totally, and unless you're expecting a windfall for a Super-Key (like Hulk 181) then I don't really see the logic of submitting through Economy.

 

That's one likely reason why so few HG Daredevil 131's are out there, as in 5 months time that number may have mushroomed quite noticeably.

[Guest]

131 counts as a modern. the wait time is a month.

[murph0]

Yeh but you have to send in 4 books in modern..and as a side note, it's current value exceeds the value tier..thus making you spend much much more.

 

Brian

[Guest]

no, as of last month the current value didn't exceed the modern tier. maybe that's changed, but I doubt it. And if it has changed, then it'd come back in three weeks, because you couldn't submit it in the economy tier either.

[Darthdiesel]

Doesn't CGC go by what's in OS to make that determination for older books and Wizard for new ones?

[comicinvestor-migration]

They have to, since otherwise, a speculator rush could have a book at $50 in OS and $25 on EBay, then up one week to $300 and down the next to $50.

 

There has to be some consistency in their value tiers, since nothing spikes rapidly and stays up for long. Just a basic rule of collectibles.

[Darthdiesel]

So would 131 fall under Standard or modern?

[Guest]

modern. I know this for a fact.

[comicinvestor-migration]

Yeah, I just got mixed up on the years. It came right before the 30-cent variants in 1976, so it's likely early-76.

[Darthdiesel]

so with the recent sales at 950+ for CGC 9.6s, will that force all future submissions to go standard IF 1) WIZARD shifts their next price guide and 2) you feel it'll grade at a 9.6 or higher (which we've heard here may not be too common)

[murph0]

I could easily see CGC calling you to tell you you're gonna have to bump this book up. Anyways, it doesn't make sense anymore for a person to submit a bunch of books via economy..it takes too long and you have to pay 3 months in advance basically.

 

Brian

[scottish]

I agree here Brian. I've only sent one batch Economy. First and last.

[drbanner]

it doesn't make sense anymore for a person to submit a bunch of books via economy

 

Well, since it costs about $20 per book economy, $36 standard (20% discount), if you submit 25 books you're saving about $400 by waiting the extra 2 months. So, yes, it does make sense from a financial standpoint...

[murph0]

If you're willing to pay the money 3 months in advance, and you're sending a lot of books..then for some people it might..certainly, doesn't for me anymore.

i'm not sure what the huge frustration is with the wait? It's cheaper for a reason, the wait is part of the bargain. in exchange, your margins on resale are lowered by 15+ dollars.

 

and what exactly do you mean by paying in advance? Is there some tier where you pay after you get the books back?
