So in the interest of full disclosure I am not a big fan of slabs but they do provide a page color which I find a lot of sellers don’t seem to care about and OW and worse drive me crazy on copper and Bronze Age books. So I was wondering if I buy a White Page book slabbed 20-25 years ago does a slab GUARANTEE that no further degradation of color has occurred ? As in, if I crack a 1980 WHITE to try and clean and press, should it still be white?

Thanks for any insight and if I perform the experiment myself I will post the results!

Anyone can you help with a grade on this one?
House of Mystery #182 this book presents super well for its age overall. The front page is tight like a new comic with deep glossy colors full of vibrancy and contrast.

Got this at a local expo for 50 bucks. It looked like it was in pretty good condition, plus I had the exact same copy in middle school lol. Was planning to send to Cgc, but am looking for some other opinions. Hoping for a 9.4-9.6

Only pics of front cover so far. Going to see the book in person but hoping to get help with an estimated grade first. Thoughts?

Any estimate? I have another issue that I might grade, trying to see which would have a better chance for a higher grade. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! (My bad if photos are rotated, reddit did that)

I sell them on Vinted.

I’ve been debating whether Hulk 340, Batman 423 or ASM 300 would be my first slab… I guess we know which one came first!!! I’m super excited, and there’s a slight non color breaking crease in the back cover that looks very pressable. I MAY want to have it pressed and then resubmitted for a bump, but for now it’s going on the wall!

Looking to purchase, what graded would you say?

Hi All,

I have several comics (50?) that I have kept from late 80’s and early 90’s. I don’t think I have anything major but perhaps I am wrong. I have not looked into or collected anything since owning these.

Where does one look to research and find prices. Is EBay a good place or is there any website that has a database?

Thanks for any info

Have a couple 2x - 3x signed newsstands that have these holes one goes all the way through other in the back cover just goes through the back cover. Have gotten them from different places over the years and was planning on getting one graded, not this one specifically. how much does it effect the grade if it's not normal?

What grade would you give these based on the cover?

I've got theese books im looking to depart from but i been trying to look at similar ones Everywhere.. I cant find close comics to mine does anyone have any advice or could help? Thank you!

I realize they are pretty strange picks but I think they are neat and I don't care to much about value.

Does anyone else have slabs that others would find strange to slab?

Just got this on for a reasonable price. Spare me a grade please?

Thanks in advance!

One ding in the I in Akira is all I can see, but I'm not hip to grading on graphic novel style books.

So this saga continues. I appreciate all the replies I received on the previous post about a month ago. I have argued over a reimbursement fee, which will not disclose in case of being taken down by the mods. A fee was agreed on. However, now images have been discovered by liaison who now does not work for the auction house. This is certainly mitigating circumstances to pause that agreement.

I will provide three images, the two new images discovered and the original proof of existence - used in the previous post.

The main concerns were the spine roll, that can now be seen as purely a manufacturing issue, with poorly placed staples. The back cover shows the spine is almost perfectly straight.

I think now the book easily places within 6.0-7.0 range. I am looking to gain a consensus from you wonderful people to use as secondary evidence in my claim against the auction house. I thoroughly appreciate all contributions.

EDIT: these photos that have been discovered are pre-cleaning and pressing. the book was LOST/STOLEN under the stewardship of the auction house, before it was graded. This was submitted part of a larger collection, so it wasn’t insured individually.

Picked this up recently, any thoughts would be appreciated.
