My Daredevils #1 through whatever are back from CGC!

- CGC is a private company that offers an assessment of the condition of a comic book for a key, then assign a "grade" based upon that assessment. Comic collectors pay them a lot of money for this service. But just because money is exchanged, does it mean the process in infallible?
I just got my Daredevil #1 (1964) back from CGC. Plus a half dozen other Daredevils. What grade did they assign them?

First time seeing this channel, thought he was Adam Savage for a moment.
I get John Byrne a lot!
Nice video.
All the freedom to do what you want, but my take on slabbing is that There are better ways to preserve than through CGC. They have never truly been about preservation, it was just a marketing strategy to get collectors to grade books they are keeping. They have been in the market of “creating Collectibles” for more than a decade. As you are aware, Their original intent was to carve out a piece of the comic market by being a 3rd party at providing grades instead of buyers and seller determining it on their own. They became a collectible creator once they begun marketing of Slabbing comics for anything but fulfilling a transaction. They essentially turned books into trading cards and convinced people that it was good.
Yup
Also. Even at those grades, I’m sorry you’re not happy with them, but I’d love to have in my collection. Great pieces and as you said. History in your hands. Your Stan Lee love is what seals my subscribe
I love Stan so much. He made comics fun for sure. And, for the record, I'm just fine with low grades. Low better is better than no grade!
I agree with your sentiments regarding CGC creating collectables. I only submit books for preservation purposes personally (I am a comic buyer, not a comic seller, and quite happy with this position).
Yeah, I have an uneasy relationship with slabbing for sure.
Nice Comics!!! I had the pleasure of meeting the late Great Stan Lee it was definitely a honor. 😎
Excelsior!
I feel your pain. I think there are different paths for all comic lovers but for me, and I think you, owning a comic you love is the most important thing. So slabbing isn't the way to go. Some nice mylar, microchamber paper to protect against acidity and keep away from sunlight (comics are such vampire wannabees) is the way to go. Also talk to them. Or is that plants? I forget.
I love Mylar. I order direct form E Gerber and get it by the truckload.
Thanks for sharing, slabs were beatiful
Thanks, appreciate you watching.
Awesome to have these comics - restored or not.
100%
Great set of Daredevils. One thing, you may want to consider put a backing board at the fonrt of your boxes just in case you reach in to pull it out and gouge the first comic (I HAVE done it before). The backing board protects the first book. :)
I loved your Daredevil presentation. My two favorite of these comics is issue #2 with that great cover and issue #7 with the great cover plus excellent story of a a man fighting a superhuman and holding his own. I love that you don't hype high grade comics. It's history and art. Lower grade books are great and they make it possible for me to complete runs. I collect for the love of the hobby. Thank you
Agree 100%
I just finished reading the first Daredevil Epic Collection, and it was great to refresh my memories of those early days. Such a pity Stan had to piss Wally around and derail what could have been a legendary run.
Great looking books daredevil
Thanks! Daredevil hasn't hasn't a prolonged bad run in my opinion, each era has some good stuff.
I was watching another channel and someone commented that he had bought a comic from the newsstand when he was a kid. He sent it in to be graded and CGC said it had a color touch on the cover. Apparently CGC is seeing color touch-ups where there aren't any.
Weird.
Awesome books, thanks for sharing! I don't have DD 1 yet ... I've got a 3.0 Daredevil 2, a 5.0 DD 7, and a DD 8 at CGC now, hoping for a little higher grade on that ...
Good luck!
@@Nerdsonearth I don't have a lot of graded books, but I agree with you, for me it's more about preserving great books. I do grade a few for future sale-ability, too...
That is a nice collection. I'm just starting to attempt to put together a run of the first 25 issues. Hopefully I can do that before I retire lol!
You can do it!
Yoooooo I feel the same way I am almost completing the ASM run jus missing a few I don’t hav many slabs jus the first 10 and a few others I do it for the love not the business, so we’re in the same boat
An ASM run is amazing! I have my Daredevil but it is Avengers then ASM for me next.
@@Nerdsonearth can’t beat ASM or dare devil early issues. Best covers in the game.
Great Daredevils!!! 2.5 to .5 restored is about the same value as the blue labels. I have Dardevil #1 in a .5 blue but its missing center fold. If it had the center fold it would be a 2.0. I'm fine with the .5. I just always wanted it in my collection. I'm sure that if I graded all my high valued books there would a purple surprise or two.
Thanks!
I'm frankly just fine with low grade because I'm happy to have them in collection. I whine at times - and decide for some reason to film my whining to show to the greatest amount of people as possible - but I really don't mind a low grade, particularly if the colors and bulk of the cover looks nice.
And the 2nd app of Electro as well.
Indeed!
My comics are for reading. I collect them to enjoy them. I have many grails but I won’t sell any of them because I love reading them. Call me a hoarder. I don’t part with anything. 🙂
I’m getting more comfortable with the idea of owning something for a period of time that is shorter than forever. :)
Dante didnt mention a circle of hell for slabbing comics. But its there.
Color Touch can be removed. Thought about getting it removed? I have a DD1 CGC 4.0 that is trimmed on all 3 sides...
I think at this point I will let it ride. With no plans to sell, I'm happy it is preserved for now.
Nice set of DD books!! CGC is ruining the comic collecting hobby! 18 months 🤯 is so messed up! Have major collection of AS Silver age but scared to send to CGC, so many horror stories!! 2 mil Mylar w/ acid free backboards and Micro-Chamber paper! Way to go, if you want to read!!
Mylar is fantastic.
What kind of shelving do you got going on back there? I’ve been trying to find something affordable and dependable
The shelves I got from Amazon: amzn.to/3qOEHYt They fit 4 BCW short boxes across, which is perfect. Then, if you look at the shorts I have filmed, I have a video that shows how I use foam core from Dollar Tree to help the boxes slide smoothly across the shelving.
@@Nerdsonearth cool thank you for the reply. I’ll look into those!
I agree about preserving books but I am so tired of the CGC game with all these graded books. I think a heavy duty backing board and a nice mylar bag in a top-loader is as good for preservation as their crap ass plastic shell. CGC is responsible for killing the hobby as pricing is ridiculous even for RAW books now. The dealers are selling Raw books at the same price as graded. Sad.
Mylar is magic.
I'm definitely off the CGC bandwagon and won't give them another nickel. That said, I have my eyes on some Silver and Golden age books and unless I can find them local where I can take a look, I will buy slabbed off eBay because you at least know what you are getting is authenticated.
So it's complicated.
@@Nerdsonearth I see your point with Golden age book. They are already hard to find Raw and in the wild. If I am going have anything like that I can see the appeal and the security of a graded copy. I hail from Canada and golden age books, especially around me, are hard to come by in decent prices. Any suggestions on good Golden age dealers with great prices are welcome.
@@dimension13xproductions80 I got lucky one time at an antique store. All Star 22 in really nice shape for $650. They knew what they had and priced it fairly. But you're right, Golden Age is pretty much only online shopping frankly.
I agree with you about Raw Comics being as much as Graded it doesn’t make any sense. I only collect for my PC and never to flip and make a profit. I do not have any graded comics in my collection. I was thinking about getting a few graded just to help preserve them but I think I’ll go a different route. 😎
Weird video.
Thank you! That's what I was trying to achieve!
Adam Savage really let himself go.
Adam Savage has never looked better!
are you john byrne ?????
I wish. Unfortunately I can’t draw near as fast. No way I could keep up two monthly books like he commonly did in the 80s.
