I recently acquired a stack of old comics that had been hidden for decades. They are all ungraded and I suppose "Raw" is the term, however the condition and color is good. Is it worth the price of getting them graded? I added some of them to the "my collection" list. BTW in case it's not obvious.. total comic newbie here.

Thanks!

So far we have located 27 books, 4 are DC. The others are a mix of Dell and other stuff, the books are from 1943 to 1945. Looks to be untouched from that era and burred deep in a hoard of other junk. Thanks for the info, it's been fun learning about the process!

That is very helpful, I was not sure about the pressing. I was just going through the submission form, seems like screening will let them determine best pressing options. Yikes... sticker shock! I had not paid attention to the Express or Walk-Through part. It's pretty pricey to put them through the process, Wowza.


Comicspriceguide.com ( this website smile ) actually has a pressing service that does an awesome job, for a great price!

Not all GA are worth getting graded. But, if some of them are in really good condition (GA is relative when we say really good) they might be.

Any GA DC comics are definitely worth looking in to, the older "funny" comics are probably less so unless they feature something cool like the first appearance of Blondie or Popeye or something like that (in comic books).
