Should you get that Comic slabbed (certified & encased)? Here are my thoughts on this question.
Переглядів 8592 роки тому
A brief video to discuss whether or not you should get your comic books graded, certified, and encased (slabbed) by one of the grading companies (IE - CGC, CBCS). There are a few considerations before you can really know what to do; this is focused more on those who are concerned with value or resale, but I’ll try to cover other reasons as well. I’m not going to discuss (in this video) which gr...

Awesome video. Are you coming to this upcoming Terrificon? If so, I'll be located at table A9 in the artist alley.
This is amazing! Thanks for the tips sir!
Thank you for watching! 🙏
Hi. Do you have a person that you send your Purple labels to, so they can remove small touch up paint to get Blue label? Thank you.
Sorry for the delayed response. I do not have anyone for resto removal other than CCS (part of CGC). I haven’t done a lot of Restored book buying so I think I need to find one!
I discovered your channel today and enjoyed the two videos I have watched. Congrats on acquiring your grail! SS #4 is a book that is definitely worth pursuing in high grade to fully appreciate John Buscema’s cover masterpiece.
I’ve seen books with multiple ticks and bent edges I’vee bought pregeaded as a 7.5. I’ve sent books in myself barely cornered and only got a 8.0 I think the age of digital grading is coming to scan all defects and be overviewed by a knowledgeable grader. This will help biased opinions whether someone is having a bad day and looking at your book that and I wouldn’t doubt someone in time has slipped them a couple Hundreds $ bills before hand as well
Great pick ups!! Were there any other comic dealers at that show??
Thanks 🙏 that was the only comic booth!
FF #55 is NOT "just a cover book".....the battle featuring the SS and The Thing within it's pages is INSANE, featuring Kirby at the peak of his powers. 😃
You are so right! 🙌🏼
What’s a slab I’m old school lol
A slab is a plastic device that prevents comic readers from reading comics. 😎
@@loco4comics I know I was just being funny
This is my first time checking out your channel. I gotta say, you have some wonderful silver age gems there. I'm a silver age guy myself, raised in the 1960's when all these were new. Throughout this post you mention the duplicates, triplicates etc. and that is music to my ears! Congratulations on the grades and especially the FF #55 in an 8.0 grade, it looks amazing. BTW, if you happen to have a raw copy of ASM #50. feel free to check out my childhood letter from 1967! Stan called me Joey. Left page, bottom left. I was 11 years old. Thanks for posting and all the best.
Thank you for your kind words. Now let me get this straight- you had a letter published and acknowledged by Stan the Man?! And it was in ASM?! And it was issue #50?!!!! Wow!!👏🏻👏🏻
@@loco4comics Yes, it's there alrighty. I also had one of my books signed by Romita Sr. One signature on the bottom of the splash page and another signature in the margin by my letter!
Excellent video - as an aspiring UA-camr myself for comics, how do you create or obtain the customized intro segment for branding? Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated!
Thank you! Shoot me a DM on IG; I’m a novice myself but can share some ideas.
Dont buy that FF5 just yet Biff!... Its dropped about 150% since 6 months ago.
😮 The 9.2 dropped?!
Cool video man I would love to go through a place like that and watch the auction. Give me on how many money I wouldn't be able to bid anyway. LOL great video again thank you sir I'll catch you on the next one.
I was definitely checking out books that I wasn’t going to bid on! Thanks again 🙏
Thanks for making this interesting video. I agree with the points that you made.
Thank you 🙏
One of the more honest upfront videos about this subject you definately have me reconsidering slabbing old books in mid grades. Thanks and great intro as well.
Thats good stuff!! Comics are really cool! Not much of a collector but just really appreciate people like you who are keeping the heritage of this art !!! I do collect cards and they do relate !!!
I’m older, and one reason for slabbing is to make it easier for my kids who inherit my collection to get proper value
Excellent point - you’re exactly right about that- facilitating sales for those who are not as expert on grading & values. 🙌🏼
Great video. I’ve been organizing my collection lately and I was thinking about getting a couple of my key issues graded. Such as Marvel Spotlight issue number 5, Ghost Rider #1 volume one, and maybe Star Wars #1. This would be for my personal collection not to resale or anything. Just would like to have them better protected for the long term. Thanks. 😎
You definitely have some “slab-worthy” Bronze Age books! 😮🙌🏼
Why people buy when the comic has the highest price? Why don’t people just wait? Never understood that
Great video, thanks for the advice. Let me get answer my previous question and my other comment that would be awesome. Thank you.
What about an X-Men number 6. Was a little bit of damage on the top cover and back cover a little care at the top of the book goes all the way through. Got the size of a small pinky on a child. What do you think?
If you think it would grade in the 3.0 and up, I would do it. I also will always clean and press lower grade SA books before submitting.
@@loco4comics that was my plan, I just wanted a few more opinions on it before I decided. Since I'm a rookie again cuz it's been 30 years. I figure I'll send that one in first. Thanks a lot I appreciate it. And continue with the great videos! I have my notices set for all of them for when you do
@@l.greenemachine66 What is you intent? @loco4comics did a great job going over rationale for grading so ask yourself that first. Also grading comics one at a time can get expensive with shipping and handling fees so keep that in mind.
The books took a dive cause the movie was bad
No doubt at all! But do you think some of the characters can be “resurrected” in other franchises?
I really like that ASM 50, it's gotten expensive. If you have an eBay store you could include a link. I like checking out what venders have for sale if they include a link.
I agree on the ASM 50. I no longer use my eBay store. I sell at local cons like these and directly via my IG acct. Look me up there - Loco4Comics
New sub from a Neil's Comics & Video Game shout out. Great set of slabs. Buy on the dip!
Thank you (& Neil)!!🙏🙏
Hi Coming from Neil’s Comic And Video Game’s channel☺️
Thank you and Neil!!🙏🙏
Cool video, thanks! I enjoyed it very much.
Thank you sir! 🙏🙏
Loki the TV show is awesome. I can't wait till you make another season.
I'm betting there is a little bump up at least 150 200% backup so you can make a little bit money off of it if you have to or just hang on to it.
I agree; I’m not sure how quickly the bump back will come, but I’m willing to wait for it.
You cant drop 300% unless the current price is a negative 200% meaning they give you the comic and money in the amount of double what the price used to be. You can only drop 100% which means the comic is free.
Crap, my math! I think I meant to say the price is 30% of its high. I need to go back to school! Thanks for the lesson, Danny
Great video I just subbed to you.
No FF Books wow I’m surprise lol. No I think the rarity of the $.30 price. Regardless of the book is worth a lot and even in the high grade. People just collect the 30 cent variant. I believe This franchise or base characters will come back strong. Great pick ups I love that Unboxing videos.
Thanks brother! Yeah, can you believe I’m branching out past FF books! 😂 You’re right about the $.30 variant collectors; I should have done more research on that.
If you’re disappointed then why do you keep using them
I’ll be doing a video to answer this question- stay tuned.
@@loco4comics That’s really good to hear because I don’t get it, it’s like having an abusive spouse but staying with them. I wouldn’t give my money to a company that it’s caused me so much heartache, headaches and has poor customer service
CGC is the premiere grading service bar none. CGCS is likely second and forget about PGX as they just can't compete. What the other service EGX or some such name. Highest resale prices are on books slabbed from CGC. Regardless of any issues (pun intended) with them, they are still the best choice.
Boom 💥 Great book! Congrats 👏.
I've going through this as well, waiting on books for over a year
Cool vid! Congrats!! 👏
Great taste in comics!.... but i cant say the same about that music you chose for this video.
Wow!!!Nice books.I am excited about our local show the Memphis Comic Expo
Congratulation I am happy for you
Great content…. Love the term “Sweat Equity” Much respect for the grind and patience…. I always say “This a marathon not a sprint”
Great info …killer books
Very cool! Congrats on getting the book, and thank you for sharing your journey details.
This guy seems nice enough, but my issue with all these startup comic book channels is they promote themselves as collectors, but they are all really low-level self-funded or family-funded resellers. This guy is more transparent about that fact than most. These guys will say the hobby funds itself, then it is not really a hobby; it's a business venture that fact seems to get lost. If he was showing real-estate property flips, no one would care, but because we all love the hobby, we tune in. Who, while raising a family, has thousands of extra dollars to put in suspense for a few years while trading up? Not most working folks. I personally have gone on Craig's list and turned over books for a profit, usually from someone's misfortune, like a death in the family or a business failure. Of course, that's not a compelling story, so you won't hear that too often. With all that said, this is a great hobby that gives as much as it takes, and since there is some degree of transparency, I wish the channel success.
Appreciate your feedback and perspective. I don’t plan on hiding the fact that I sell comics at local cons and online; because that discovery has helped me add books to my PC that I never thought possible. I am trying to focus this channel more on the collecting side rather than just pushing books I want to sell. Thanks 🙏
@monkeywaffle225 my man asked for feedback, so he got some :0
Right on! New viewer. Good show. People think you can just go buy something and flip it that quick and it's not that way. You got to work up to it like you did sometimes to get what you really want. And you feel better too.
I agree; it is much more fulfilling taking the long road!
Awesome boom congrats. Love hearing about the process. Def agree patients patients when buying a huge key
Thanks; I didn’t have patience when I got back into collecting but now I realize how much more fun it is.
Congrats on the high grade grail!
Thank you sir! 🙏
I hear you. I have 7 submissions still out from last year!
Oooff! That hurts! 😬😕
props on the grails!
Thank you! Sending the FF 2 off to CGC this week.
What are the capital letters posted behind you mean or symbolize?
Oh, those are for my live claim sales on IG. So people can put “Claim M” etc during those.
Good stuff, in the future would be helpful if you could note price terms paid, great job.
Great unboxing ! Books present amazing 👍👍
🙏 Thank You!
Dang man I sent in ONE book, fast track economy, and it was received on 7/1/22 and it’s still “scheduled for grading.” CGC can be very frustrating lol. Great books buddy!
I hope you get your book back soon!
@@loco4comics thanks man me too lol! Lookin forward to your next show!
