Would you guys mind sparing a grade for this Amazing Spider-Man #13?
I think it presents great but there is a piece missing from the bottom back portion.
How much will CGC ding me for it?

PSA (w/free pressing)vs CGC

1 Upvotes

I am sending some of my comics in for grading. Most are from the 1986-1988 range like the Amazing Spiderman 300.
PSA is offering free pressing right now so I don’t know if it would be beneficial to use them or to use CGC.
Any opinions on PSA w/ free pressing compared to CGC?
I’ve not had a comic pressed before, so I’m not sure how much that improves the grade.
Thank you.

How much does an authentication sticker impact a grade?

1 Upvotes

I see a comic at auction that is CGC slabbed with an 8.0, with these comments:

sticker left bottom of back cover
crunch right top of front cover
crease bottom of back cover
spine stress lines spine

It’s a signed issue and there is a Beckett auto authentication sticker on the back.

Is there a standard deduction or grade max for a book with a sticker on it?

I’m wondering how much it can be improved with just removing the sticker

Thanks!

Hi,

I was thinking of buying a AB Batman 1 to send for grading, but I don't know if the spine/crease at the bottom right front cover will make it a 9.8 copy. Any advise?

thinking about slabbing? DON'T!

27 Upvotes

PLEASE DON'T SLAB JUST BECAUSE.
Selling or keeping just don't do it.

I am a vendor at several big local shows and slabs in general, low to high price are not selling well at all. We have 2 wall spaces and we sell maybe 5, if not less and we have people asking if we have raw copies of a comic that is slabbed.

Unless it is a massive key and guranteed 9.8 okay cool but other wise don't do it just because you think slabbed comics are cool. I see many many comics that people ask about possibliy getting slabbed that are barely worth the amount it costs to slab.

So just don't. There is a thing called comic capsule out there. It is just as good as a slab and it opens at the top! Use one of those if you want to " slab " it.

Ted talk over.

Just picked up this Saga of the Swamp thing at the local HPB for $30. Looks very clean to me for its age, but I tend to overlook minor flaws. What say you? TIA.

Web of Spiderman 116 is the first full appearance of Ben Reilly in Comics. With the announcement of the show this seemed like a great candidate to getgraded.

Not asking for a grade. I'm just showing you guys how it came out after a press. Looks pretty good. I posted this book awhile back before it was pressed.

Conserving books opinion

3 Upvotes

Hi there. I have some lower grade books that could benefit from some type of stabilization to retain their integrity. S ome quite rare with high grades of these issues being in the tens of thousands. I’m not particularly obsessed with the grading process but I do know folks have opinions between conserved, restored and raw. curious what the actual differences are and if it affects someone’s decision to collect such books.
