Sqeggs Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Lovely stuff. I love that you crack them out but for resub purposes? It is hard to post anything about CGC cases right now without folks finding all kinds of hidden meaning in every word. Let's just say that for the time being I am having a lot of fun cracking books out of every kind of holder; new, old, voldemort, all of them. I didn't mean to imply that I was searching for a hidden meaning it just struck me as curious. I guess I'm use to seeing you grade books that you held raw for years so this was interesting especially with $20k books. I'm all for it as I cracked out my whole high grade SA/BA collection of mostly pedigree books and I loved seeing them in mylars, I really hate slabs in general. Anyways, I love your taste in books. A panoramic shot of a few of the recent crack-outs... Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Marvel #4 has been the apple of my eye in your collection since I first found out you owned it. What a gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageComics Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Agreed. Richard has finally come to his senses. The only books i haven't cracked out were comics that were prohibitively expensive and I needed to keep them liquid in case I needed to sell. There's nothing better than holding a raw GA 'fatty' IMO.

It is pretty cool seeing the coding on the interior ending in "mint". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 + 1 Loved the cracking video as well. I was about to ask how careful you have to be with uber-high graded books. I always have a heck of time liberating them from the inside sleeve but now that I saw you with the new design with "unprotected" books inside, that might be even scarier!

CrocHntr Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I really like that one too. I don't know if it's the light blue background or what, but it draws me in. Great pick-up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
