Very interesting! Have a few of these on the list, didn't know any were rare/common 😂

bro put the the boys comic in top 100

First appearance of Superboy?

Whats the website that you used to look at the price of the graded slabs?

sure CGC is starting to really make more of a difference. but, the damage was already done. so, it would take a lot for everyone to trust them ever again. #ROADTO40K #IWANTCAPTAINCARROTPLEASE

Cbcs label yes please …

Old slabs are more fragile alot of them cracks more often in the corners from age.

Didn't Lex die in Crisis on Infinite Earths?

I've watched enough of your CGC unboxing videos and the answer is neither. From you unable to get hardly any 9.8s to getting almost everyone back a 9.8 after the previous video of you complaining about their process. Just a scam to keep buying the same back issues over and over but for more money. No thanks.

I slab my slabs

We as a community need to change the CPR process. Until the community as a whole have a Crack, Press, and Resubmit process where each certification number is accounted for per book in the census, there will be a level of untrustworthyness on transparency and grading.

Just laser etch the serial number onto the inner well. Shouldn't be TOO hard. Keep it small enough that one needs a magnifying glass to see it, so that it doesn't detract from the appearance, and it should be good.

I'm no slab expert, but I've heard the opposite regarding grade assignments. The old slabs had higher grading standards. I mean, now we're getting a lot more 9.9s...

Even if you get an old slab cracked, cleaned, and pressed, and it stays the same grade, the book looks a lot better in presentation, AND you have the new slab, so I think it's still worth it in the end.

You are close on the label history for CGC... but not quite correct. The old blue boxy label is actually the first label. The red label was only for "modern" comics--comics published after 1974. The blue boxy label and red boxy label existed at the same time--they were just used to denote the age of the comic. I would also add that the CGC grading standards have gone up and down over it's history. They are not necessarily tougher now than in the early days of CGC--in fact, some of the toughest grading was in the early days with the blue boxy label. However, there have definitely been some times that it was very lax. I generally stay away from CGC graded comics with a certification number beginning with 02... For some reason, they had many books graded 9.2 and 9.4 with those cert numbers that would probably not get an 8.5 now (or earlier).

i dont trust any of them

I got a Powers 1 in the Red label from a grab bag. Should i reslab or should i press and regrade a book worth maybe $60.

As far as the construction of the slab itself, are the newer slabs improved? They seem thicker and sturdier. I got my ASM 39 signed by Stan Lee in 2014 and the slab itself has like air gaps. Want to get a reslab but I don't want to lose a point or two.

Cool vid dude!

Happy Birthday!!

Now that 9.9 and 10 slabs exist, I'm more comfortable with their grading. There's a ton of 9.8s that will get CPR'ed into 10s. Can you or I tell the difference between a 9.8 and a 10? Probably not. But collectors are spending money on them.

I’d go CBCS but CGC still sells more

"Started with a red label ... soon after that, they had this blue label" - not accurate. The two were used at the same time when CGC began; the red label denoted a "Modern" book ('75 or newer) while the blue label denoted a pre-'75 book. Only lasted a couple of years before they moved the Moderns to be blue as well to avoid confusion. My GSX 1 is still in a red label slab. Been thinking about reholdering, but I kind of like the nostalgia of the red label.

the slab scam is probably still happening, just not being sent to cgc to reholder, since cgc slabs arent tamper evident.

I would only consider CGC a victim if the scammers were doing something they were unaware was possible. However, there is another RUclipsr (famous for showing how easy it is to crack their slabs) that stated he told CGC about how easily their slabs could be compromised YEARS before the scandal broke. Therefore, I don't consider CGC a victim at all.

Great first buying experience from you last week! Thanks for being the salvation from eBay!

I have never got a graded comic.

I personally own 278 original (first two years) blue label slabs. I always look for these slabs as a preference. No mass pressing or tweaking of books. I also completely disagree regarding grading. These were the Steve Borock days. I have personally found overall the grading was tighter in the early days. I have 11 books that ALL were resubmitted and came back higher grades. Guess it just depends.

Bravo

I’ve been here from nearly the start, James, old chap! And your Birthday is only four days after mine! I’m really glad you were conceived, man, and that you birthed this great channel. Keep running!

I think I own maybe 10-20 of these comics.

I do go to comic shops to seek sanctuary, but it’s only temporary sanctuary from my wife. 😅

i've always loved DC more than Marvel. Mainly because Superman is my favorite Superhero. With that said, both companies are cool in their own ways. Marvel has X-Men, and that's always been my favorite slice of the whole Marvel Pie.

Sometimes the price tag is significantly higher than recent sales and the FMV. In those cases I might make a significantly lower offer than the price tag while pointing out recent eBay sales. The theory is that the seller either priced the book before a fall in price or simply made an error. Often the seller is agreeable to a lower price. I don’t like it when the seller says, “yeah, but you would have to pay shipping on that one,” for a number of reasons. The main one being, if he’s not shipping it to me why does he want me to pay for shipping? As always if an agreement can’t be reached it’s fine to walk away.

Would they possibly have this here in florida?

That's incredible

I like irony of how X-Force has the words "1st Issue Collector's Item" splashed all over it.

I would say don't slab unless you want to put it in the PC, or it's worth at least 500$.

it looks like someone that really didnt know much about comics, but somehow thought his collection was worth more than it was and went out and had them all graded! he or she obviously has some bad taste in comics!

Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday my man.

Happy Birthday, man.

Lex Lu✨theeer✨

Great channel. Helped me through the pandemic.

The Walking Dead is entirely about Rick Grimes, it says those exact words in the first page of the comic books so once the show “killed him off” the show should’ve stopped existing

Happy birthday sir

interesting, ive never really checked any of these type o sales deals out before..., thaz kewl man. Say, I hope when you get those CPR dealz done they turn out dope.

Happy birthday!
