Paid a little over the odds for the Droids book but I like the cover. I do like the Godzilla one myself. Nearly sold it when I kind of fell out with CGC books. Though I'm getting back into it again. Never going to sell them again. (Well not for a very long time anyway). My favourite cover is the Laurel And Hardy one. Bit of a higher grade would have been nice, and the slab is slightly cracked too which is disappointing.]]> Sun, 15 Jul 2018 04:59:15 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=12380 I think i have that FF Marvel Action book. Came poly-bagged with a animation cell.
Detective Comics #366 has a cool cover.
But the win goes to Godzilla #1, 9.6 slabbed ...jealous much Lol ]]> Sat, 14 Jul 2018 20:29:02 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=12380 Your statement of not grading just really surprises me considering some of the books you posted through the years since you been here on this site. Some of your books aren’t cheap to buy and the thinking that the seller is honest and can grade well is nice to think that way but it just isn’t smart.
I recently bought a book on eBay from a seller in London. The seller on the auction listed that they have been in business from 1988, also listed the book I was bidding on was in Near Mint. I won book for $228. Finally got the book and my grade was it was fine plus (6.5) or no higher than a fine plus/very fine minus (7.0). Had finger prints on the whole back cover, had creases along the whole back cover, and part of the front cover. It was obvious to me they actually didn’t look at the book to grade or can’t grade or they were screwing the buyer. I sent it back for a refund, book cost to much to accept the lower grade seller offered me 50% off original price, no worth it.
. What if I didn’t grade it myself and years later try to sell it? I’d lose a lot of money and or have the buyer be upset of the book assuming that I believed it was NM-. You really need to grade most books you buy depending what your paying.
You said luckily you never sent a book back, but not grading is like saying “ignorance is bliss”. Trust in others is nice to think but when it comes down to money, you shouldn’t think this way.
I don’t spend much time grading. Five minutes or less to grade a book. I look at the covers, the corners, the staples and then the inside pages and the centerfold.
I have favorite sellers saved. They stay favorite sellers after I can tell their grades and my grades seem almost the same. Then and only then I start to trust. You got to grade and doing so your grading gets better over time.
I’m will not try to grade your scans, it’s only the front cover shown. Hope I haven’t upset you, I wasn’t trying to do that, just trying to be friendly and hopeful.
