It would be great if the collection functionality had the ability to run a report within a collection that could advise which items could benefit most from CGC grading. There are caveats, of course. The biggest caveat being the grade indicated by the collector when entering the books. If everything in one's collection is just "9.4" because that is the default condition, then the report won't be as useful.
One use of this report would be to best identify a set of books to send in for grading, to make use of price tiers available at CGC.

That's an interesting idea. There are quite a few members who try to grade their books as they enter them. The easiest and fastest way is to use the default 9.4 but some try to be more accurate.

If you have a run of one title I put in what I think is average condition of the run - this way I am right some of the time!

I'm in the middle of entering a collection that is ~25 long boxes, and I'm trying to be pretty critical on the grading as I go. That said, I am occasionally looking at the values page for an issue to see what the "bump" would (might) be for grading it, and then making a decision to set those aside.
Knowing there was a report to run at the end that would make me a list of the best ones to get graded would be very nice.
Overall, I am very pleased with the collection functionality!
