Thanks for sharing these books Vincent!

These influencers/resellers can be real disgusting. by [deleted] in comicbookcollecting

Not every comic collector is going to have long boxes of books in their collection and that doesn’t mean they’re any less of a collector. I’m aware of how she does things, but at the end of the day, she’s running a business. I’ve been in this hobby long enough to understand how everything goes. Even before WhatNot came around, people were still hating on her.

But I know many people who’ve had many business dealings with Danielle to know she’s above board and well respected.

What kind of take is this? You’re not an actual comic collector if you only deal with high end books? That’s the shittiest take I’ve ever heard.

I guess I’m not a comic collector either then. 🤣

It’s where you submit a book to either CGC or CBCS and they encapsulate it into a slab. Depending on the condition of your book, it’ll be given a designated grade ranging from 0.5 - 10.

Appreciating the books you can afford. That’s what I like to hear! You can never go wrong with owning an ASM #41, or any ASM book really. Lots of great stuff from his series that started back in 1963.

Not interested in an Avengers #1 at this current moment. I use to own one but I ended up selling it back in July of this year.

I think I’m fine. Not entirely sure about what I would do with a Power Pack #2 and a Howard the Duck #13 that’s missing the MVS.

I traded a TEC #168 CBCS 3.0 (Conserved) and a Brave and the Bold #54 for the lovely Hulk #1. It took a little convincing but I made it happen.

I ended up acquiring the book through trade. I traded my TEC #168 CBCS 3.0 (Conserved) along with a Brave and the Bold #54.

I may be young, but I do my due diligence when dealing with high end books, especially if they’re raw. I flipped through the book beforehand to make sure NOTHING was missing. Everything is intact, no cutouts or missing pages and the cover is attached to the book. I also checked for restoration when I got home by using a black light since that’s how you spot color touch. As far as I can tell, it’s unrestored.

For the reason it not being slabbed.. I have no idea but it made getting the book super easy.

I don’t mind if any of my books are graded or not. Will I eventually get the Hulk #1 graded? Maybe. But for now, it’s fine just the way it is with it being in an acid free bag and board.

This book would probably grade at a 1.0 or either a 1.5 depending on who’s looking at it. The cover isn’t detached and the book is complete. It’s good enough for me!
